Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Laces are fraying
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Standard shoelaces are widely available.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The gum rubber outsole provides good traction, but caution is advised on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean from debris.
Shoes feel tight after wearing
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Suede can mold to the foot over time, but if initially too tight, consider using shoe trees or professional stretching services.
