Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thinner socks or allow a break-in period. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot. Refer to sizing guides.
Soles show wear
Normal wear and tear will occur with use. For significant sole damage, consult a cobbler for potential repair options.
Color transfer onto socks
This can sometimes happen with new dyed materials. Wear darker socks initially or allow the shoes to air out to minimize excess dye transfer.
