Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored after cleaning

Ensure you used a product specifically designed for suede and followed the instructions carefully. Allow the shoe to dry completely before assessing the color. If the issue persists, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if they feel too tight.

Laces are fraying

Replace the laces with a new pair. Many athletic shoe brands offer replacement laces, or you can find suitable alternatives at footwear stores.
