Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions precisely. Avoid water on suede areas.
Laces are dirty
Carefully remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. If the issue persists, consult the brand's sizing chart to confirm your correct shoe size.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for comfort, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive wear. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.
