Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions and testing in a small area first. Avoid using water excessively.

Laces are worn or broken
Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely for a proper fit.
