How do I maintain the grey suede material?

The gum outsoles are inspired by the Samba lineage and offer nimble, reliable grip suitable for urban walking surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner as per product instructions.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow the shoes to break in gradually. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and not overly tightened.
