Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to stretch and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Gum sole appears discolored
This can sometimes occur due to exposure to certain chemicals or prolonged sunlight. Try cleaning gently with a specialized rubber cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
White accents are scuffed
Use a magic eraser or a non-gel toothpaste on a soft cloth to gently scrub away scuff marks from the white accents. Be careful not to apply excessive pressure.
