Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Wear with thin socks initially or try removing the insole. The shoe may loosen slightly with wear; consider a half-size larger if discomfort persists.
Laces fraying quickly
Replace with a more durable set of laces, or ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause unnecessary stress.
Sole showing signs of wear
For skating, significant sole wear is expected. For casual use, ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly to prevent excessive abrasion.
Discoloration on the canvas/suede
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Protect with appropriate sprays to prevent future discoloration.
