Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Traction feels reduced
Check the Waffle outsole for embedded debris. Clean gently with a brush. Ensure the outsole is dry, as moisture can affect grip.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that laces are tied appropriately without being too tight.
