Troubleshooting
Discoloration from scuffs
For minor scuffs, try using a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaner with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, professional shoe cleaning may be required.
Shoelaces fraying
Replace frayed shoelaces with new cotton or polyester laces. Ensure they are the correct length for the shoe.
