Troubleshooting
Suede looking dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Transparent panels appear cloudy or smudged
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Ensure the outsole lugs are free of debris, mud, or oil. Clean the sole thoroughly. Note that excessive wear on the rubber can also reduce traction over time.
Discomfort around the collar
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause pressure. The soft edge of the collar is designed for comfort; allow a brief break-in period if needed.
