Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with a similar style or colour. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Soles feel slippery
Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove any embedded debris. If wear is significant, consider professional resole services.

Ensure feet are measured correctly. Consider using insoles for minor adjustments, or consult with a shoe specialist if the fit is significantly uncomfortable.
