Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, test a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth on an inconspicuous area first, then follow the specific care instructions for suede.

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks for a slightly looser fit, or thinner socks if they are initially too snug.

Laces are worn or damaged.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. PUMA or generic shoe laces can be used.

White Formstrip is discolored.

Gently clean the Formstrip with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure it is dried properly afterward.
