Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing tension by pulling or loosening the laces through the eyelets. The unique system allows for micro-adjustments to achieve your desired fit.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning guide or product.

Sole feels stiff initially

The adiPRENE sole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Reflective piping is not visible

The reflective piping is designed to activate under direct light sources. Test in low-light conditions with a flashlight or streetlamp to observe its reflectivity.
