Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces and the ankle bungee strap for a customized fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Squeaking sound during movement
This can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently scuffing the outsole on a clean, dry concrete surface. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Dirt or scuffs on the black upper
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe away marks. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for knit materials may be used cautiously, following product instructions.
