Troubleshooting
Suede scuffs or stains easily.
Clean gently with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Consider applying a suede protector spray for prevention.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Walking or light activity will help the suede and sole conform to your foot shape.
Laces are not included (if applicable to specific model variation).
