Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose
Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, ensure all eyelets are laced evenly. For a looser fit, use fewer eyelets or lace more loosely. Consider using different lacing techniques.
Gum sole is dirty and losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Use a soft brush to scrub away stubborn dirt. Ensure the sole is dry before use.
Suede/leather upper shows scuffs or stains
For suede, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For minor stains on leather, try a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, consult a specialist shoe cleaner for suede or leather.
Felt uncomfortable after first wear
Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.
