Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for dry marks and a dedicated suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and follow the product's instructions carefully. Allow to air dry naturally.

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces to allow for more room. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe tree to gently stretch the material over time, especially for suede which can adapt slightly.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from dirt and debris. If the tread appears significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Fraying on fabric edges

For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue or fray-stopping liquid can be applied carefully to the edge. Avoid excessive force that could worsen the fraying.
