Troubleshooting

Suede becoming discolored or stained

Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. For persistent stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar type and length. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider wearing thicker socks if minor rubbing occurs.
