Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that might affect traction.

Discoloration of suede

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray and clean only with appropriate tools like a suede brush. Avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
