How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size guide and ensure your heel is snug, with enough room in the toe box. The lace-up closure allows for adjustability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser might be needed.

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially. Suede may stretch slightly with wear. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size.

Water damage on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and revive the texture.
