Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
Slight discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure the laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
