Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours a day to allow them to stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a different size might be more suitable.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. You can find replacement laces at most athletic footwear stores or online.
Discoloration on white panels
Gently clean the affected areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner might be necessary. Protect from excessive direct sunlight which can cause yellowing over time.
Soles feel stiff
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing the wear time to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot.
