Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by air drying.
Laces feel too long
Consider double-knotting the laces for a more secure fit. Alternatively, you can trim and re-seal the lace ends or replace them with shorter laces.
Sole traction seems reduced
Clean the Waffle outsole with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
Discomfort from the platform
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, break them in with shorter walks initially. The platform may take some time to adjust to.

Care Instructions:
