Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first and following the product's instructions carefully.

Shroud material is scuffed or marked

Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which could damage the material or color.

Laces are difficult to tie or adjust under the shroud

Ensure the laces are properly positioned before tightening. The shroud is designed for a snug fit, so careful adjustment is key. Some users may find it easier to adjust laces before fully securing the shroud.

Creasing on suede or shroud

Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store properly. For significant creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use.
