Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or allow for a brief break-in period. If the tightness persists, consider if this size is the correct fit.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser.
Color transfer from accents
Allow new shoes to air out before prolonged contact with light-colored clothing. In rare cases, a fabric protector spray designed for footwear may help minimize color transfer.
