Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Experiment with different lacing techniques to achieve a more comfortable fit. Ensure you've selected the correct size; check sizing guides if unsure.
Shoes make a squeaking sound
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and replacing it. If the squeak persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
