Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to lift the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or professional cleaning.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets. Try a double knot if they tend to loosen frequently.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber soles offer grip, but on very smooth or wet surfaces, caution is advised. Consider using a product designed to add grip to shoe soles if this is a persistent issue.
