Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Allow stains to dry completely. Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, following product instructions carefully.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Arch support feels insufficient
The shoes offer inherent arch support. If more is needed, consider adding aftermarket insoles compatible with low-top shoes.
Shoes lose shape over time
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape. Avoid storing them under heavy items.
