Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a lightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Avoid using excessive water.

Laces are worn out.

Replace laces with a standard pair of shoe laces of similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online.

Sole is losing grip.

Ensure the sole is clean from dirt and debris. If significant wear is visible, consider replacement if the shoe is otherwise in good condition, though this is uncommon with normal wear.
