Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for a gradual expansion. Break-in period may also help.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray before wear.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL technology is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can decrease its responsiveness. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes or replacing them if significant wear is evident.
