Troubleshooting

Suede appears worn or stained.

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Discomfort after wearing for a short period.

Verify the correct shoe size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short intervals initially. Ensure socks are appropriate for footwear.

Reduced grip on surfaces.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with a brush. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement may be considered.
