Troubleshooting
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
Ensure the gum rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For particularly slick surfaces, consider alternative footwear designed for those specific conditions.
Leather or suede shows signs of creasing.
Creasing is natural with wear, especially for leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing the shoes and avoid over-tightening laces, which can cause excessive stress.
Stitching on the heel appears loose.
Minor fraying can sometimes occur. Inspect the stitching and consider seeking professional shoe repair for significant damage to preserve the unique design.
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort.
Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, the shoes may be the wrong size or width. Ensure you have the correct fit before extensive wear.
