Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually may help. If too loose, consider using thicker socks or an insole.
Scuff marks on synthetic leather
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a specialized leather cleaner might be necessary, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced reflectivity
The 3M reflective material can degrade over time with excessive wear and cleaning. Avoid harsh cleaning methods. If significantly faded, it may be due to natural wear and tear.
