Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you would typically wear with these sneakers. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or smaller, as foot shape can vary.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight or too loose.
Leather accents scuffing easily
Apply a protective leather conditioner or a scuff-resistant spray designed for footwear. For minor scuffs, try a dedicated leather eraser or a paste made of baking soda and water, applied gently.
Mesh upper shows dirt quickly
Regularly spot clean the mesh with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for sneakers to help repel dirt and stains.
