Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Wear appropriate socks.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
