Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, following the cleaner's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
New soles can sometimes have a protective coating. Gently scuff the bottom of the sole on a rough surface or use a slightly damp cloth to improve grip. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry for optimal traction.
Tread wear on the platform sole
This is normal with regular wear. If tread wear becomes significant, it may affect grip. Consider professional advice or replacement if function is compromised.
Color transfer from green accents to lighter clothing
New shoes, especially with vibrant dyes, can sometimes experience minor color transfer. It is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with very light-colored or white garments until the shoes have been worn and possibly aired out for some time.
