Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or discolored

This can occur with excessive moisture. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Gently brush with a suede brush once dry. Consider using a suede protector spray to prevent future issues.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.

Soles losing grip

Ensure the rubber soles are clean. Small debris can affect traction. If wear is significant, consult a cobbler for sole inspection or repair.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
