Troubleshooting
Suede appearing dirty or stained.
Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft brush, following the cleaner's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming worn or dirty.
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water, or replace them with new ones.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours to allow the suede to mold to your foot. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Reduced grip on the outsole.
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
