Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the sole.

This can sometimes occur due to newness or moisture. Try wearing them for a short period to break them in. If the issue persists, ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Discoloration of the green accents.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only if necessary, and ensure thorough rinsing and drying.

Laces fraying quickly.

Use a lace-saving technique when tying, or consider replacing them with more durable laces designed for footwear.
