Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
The 'Tubes' cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Feet feel warm after extended use in hot weather
While the mesh is breathable, extreme heat can still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking and consider cleaning the mesh to maintain optimal airflow.
Tread wear on the outsole
Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. For premature wear, ensure you are not using them for activities that put excessive stress on the outsole, such as aggressive sports.
Minor scuffs on the upper
Use a soft cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh materials to gently remove scuffs. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
