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.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
