Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary.
Leather scuffs easily
Clean scuffs immediately with a damp cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or a very fine grit eraser can sometimes help.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair. Ensure you are not tying knots too tightly, which can stress the lace material.
