Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Creasing on the upper.
This is natural with wear, especially on suede. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.
Laces are difficult to adjust through the shroud.
Ensure the shroud is positioned correctly over the laces. Gently manipulate the laces through the eyelets beneath the shroud. The design may require a specific lacing technique for optimal fit.
