Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces for a customized fit. If discomfort persists, double-check your size against the 'true to size' recommendation. Consider trying a half-size up or down if needed.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on suede.
Sole lacks grip on certain surfaces
The gum sole provides general traction for everyday wear. For optimal safety, avoid extremely slippery or wet surfaces, as these shoes are not designed for high-performance grip in challenging conditions.
Shoes make squeaking noises
Sometimes new shoes can squeak. This often resolves with wear. If it continues, try applying a small amount of baby powder or petroleum jelly under the insole to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Untie the laces completely. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
- Adjust Fit: Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly. Work your way up, making sure the tongue is centered and the laces create even tension across the top of your foot. Tie a secure knot.

Care
Maintaining the suede material is key to preserving the look and longevity of your shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a clean, damp cloth (not wet) with a small amount of mild soap. Dab the stain gently; avoid rubbing aggressively.
- Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material damage. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
