Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, try loosening the laces and re-tying them more gently. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Discomfort during activity
Confirm the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure laces are tied correctly for optimal support.
Metallic overlays losing shine
Clean the overlays gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing. Ensure they are dried promptly after cleaning.
