Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or discolored

Ensure the suede has not been exposed to excessive moisture. Use a suede brush to restore nap. For discoloration, try a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are difficult to tie securely

Check that the eyelets are clear. Ensure laces are not frayed. Consider replacing worn-out laces.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Verify the size is correct. Ensure laces are adjusted properly for a secure but not constricting fit. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet.

Sole appears worn or slippery

Inspect the rubber outsole for significant wear. If grip is compromised, consider professional inspection or replacement. Ensure the sole is clean from debris that might cause slipperiness.
