Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth or brush, following the product's instructions. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Laces are worn or frayed

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid damaging eyelets.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While Air cushioning is durable, its responsiveness can lessen with prolonged heavy use. Consider rotating footwear for daily wear to extend the life and comfort of the cushioning.

Color transfer from suede to socks or skin

This can occasionally occur with darker suede dyes, especially when new or wet. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially. If persistent, consider a suede sealant spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).
