Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied to your preferred comfort level. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes need a short break-in period.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Reduced grip or slippery sole
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for the shoe's finish. For minor scuffs, sometimes gentle buffing can help.
