Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of appropriate length and material. Consider wax-coated laces for better durability.
Suede material looking worn or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, employ a suede cleaner and follow care instructions carefully.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the EVA midsole is durable, it can compress with extensive use. Consider adding insoles for enhanced comfort if needed.
