Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thinner socks initially. Use a shoe stretcher or stuff them tightly with socks overnight to gently expand the fit. Allow time for the materials to break in and conform to your feet.
Gum sole losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the surface you are using them on is clean.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, consider a suede cleaner or eraser, following product instructions carefully.
White midsole scuff marks
Gently use a magic eraser or a melamine sponge with a bit of water to remove scuff marks from the white midsole. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
