Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness in new shoes
New shoes, especially those made with premium materials like suede and leather, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Uneven lacing affecting comfort
Re-lace the shoes, ensuring an even tension from the toe box to the ankle. Experiment with different lacing techniques if necessary to find a secure yet comfortable fit.
Discoloration on suede material
Avoid exposing suede to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first) and clean with a dedicated suede brush or eraser as needed.
