Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider a different size or width.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner according to product instructions and blot gently. Allow to air dry.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the herringbone outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before use.

Shoe shape is distorted

Ensure shoes are stored properly when not in use, preferably with shoe trees or stuffing to maintain their shape. Avoid crushing them.
