Troubleshooting

Laces won't stay tied.

Ensure the laces are a suitable length and material. If they are worn or slippery, consider replacing them with a fresh pair that has more grip.

Slight stiffness upon first wear.

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Gentle flexing can also help.

Color transfer from darker socks.

This can occasionally happen with new footwear. Ensure socks are colorfast. If issues persist, consider applying a fabric protector spray specifically designed for footwear, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
