Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser to gently remove dry marks. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if the fit is snug.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The herringbone outsole provides good traction, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Always exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris.
Exposed foam on tongue looks worn
