Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Break them in gradually over a few days.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specific suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Laces wear out quickly

Inspect laces for fraying and replace them with a similar durable pair if necessary. Ensure they are not tied too tightly, which can stress the eyelets.
