Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods each day to break them in. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Soles are separating or showing wear
Inspect the sole for excessive wear or damage. Minor separation might be addressed with specialized shoe adhesive, but significant wear may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
Color transfer onto socks or feet
This can happen with darker dyes, especially when new or if exposed to moisture. It typically reduces with wear. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks initially.
