Troubleshooting

Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets without twists. Try different lacing patterns for a more uniform tension.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated debris or dust that might be hindering grip.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide.
