Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern or re-lace the shoes to achieve your preferred fit. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly before tightening.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Allow the area to dry completely. Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a dedicated suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully.
