Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
New shoes can sometimes require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure correct sizing.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Reduced traction on the outsole
Clean the Herringbone outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
