Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper

Natural creasing can occur with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Clean regularly according to care instructions.

The Pump button feels stiff or not working

Ensure the inflation port is clear of debris. Gently try to pump; excessive force is not recommended. If issues persist, consult a footwear specialist.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Ensure the insoles are properly seated and check for any debris trapped in the outsole.
