Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces feel loose.
Re-tie the rope laces, ensuring a firm knot. Adjust the lacing pattern if needed for a more secure fit.
Tread wear on the sole.
Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. For excessive wear impacting comfort or grip, consider professional shoe repair or replacement.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the sizing is correct and adjust lacing. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot type.
