Troubleshooting
Suede texture becoming matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather scuffs or marks
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner designed for the shoe's color can help.
Insole feels uncomfortable after extended wear
The Shadow 5000 offers a comfortable fit, but if further cushioning is desired, consider using a thin, supportive aftermarket insole.
Shoe odor
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor.
