Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear.

This is normal for new footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with laces that have better grip if the issue persists.

Suede appears discolored or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth may be used cautiously.
