Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Leather creasing excessively

This is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize visible creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Outsole losing grip

Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For persistent issues, check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
