Can I wear these in wet weather?

Troubleshooting

Adjust the lace closure. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmly. For a looser fit, loosen laces starting from the toe box. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Suede appears dull or discolored.
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper discoloration, a suede cleaner or dye might be necessary (test on an inconspicuous area first).
