Troubleshooting
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, break them in gradually with short periods of wear. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks for more room.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be causing slippage. For added grip, consider a specialized shoe sole spray designed for traction.
Leather material appears scuffed.
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.
Discoloration on the white parts of the shoe.
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or specialized shoe cleaner may be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
