Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize it, avoid overtightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration of the gum sole

The gum sole can be prone to scuff marks. Gently clean with a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber soles.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or with the insole. Try removing the insole to dry it separately or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
