Troubleshooting
Stitching appears frayed
The frayed stitching is a design element of the 'Blue Denim' variant, intended to provide a raw, retro look. This is not a defect.
Denim color transfer
To minimize color transfer, avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when the shoes are new or damp. Consider applying a fabric protector spray designed for denim.
Slight discomfort during first wear
Like most new footwear, break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. The breathable nylon tongue and padded ankle should provide comfort as the shoe molds to your foot.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. While designed for traction, performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces.
