Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern or tightness to your preference. Ensure the knot is secure but not overly constricting.
Minor scuffs on the ivory color.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner for leather may be used cautiously.

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.
