Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and are not twisted. Clean laces if they are dirty or stiff.
Discomfort during wear.
Check lacing for tightness and adjust as needed. Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing appropriate socks for added comfort.
