Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Dirt on the upper

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains on textile areas, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if the laces are rubbing against the tongue.
