Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks around the house to gently stretch the material. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Soles are dirty and scuffed
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the rubber soles. A magic eraser can be effective for scuffs.
Plaid pattern appears faded
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with gentle methods as described in care instructions.
