Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture or color
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For discoloration, consult a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the outsole tread with water and a brush to remove embedded debris. Ensure grip tape on the skateboard is in good condition.
Discomfort or pressure points
Allow for a break-in period. Adjust lacing, or consider using different insoles if persistent discomfort occurs after a sufficient break-in time.
Water damage to suede
Blot excess water immediately with a dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore texture.
