Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawcord tension by pulling or releasing the toggles. Ensure the lacing is evenly distributed before securing.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period. The cushioning technologies may take a few wears to conform to your foot shape.
Suede material showing dirt or marks
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a suede-specific cleaning guide and product.
Slight squeaking sound
This can occasionally happen with new shoes. It may resolve on its own with wear, or you can try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe.
