Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and tied with a secure knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn out.

Discomfort after initial wear.

Allow a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Color transfer onto socks or clothing.

This can sometimes occur with new dyed materials. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wear. If it persists, consider a fabric protector spray designed for footwear.
