Troubleshooting
Color discrepancy from online images.
Colors may vary slightly due to monitor settings. Please refer to product descriptions for color details.
Initial stiffness or discomfort.
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Slight color bleeding on lighter socks.
This can occur with new, dark-dyed footwear. A pre-wash or careful initial wear with darker socks may help mitigate this. Ensure proper care to prevent excessive bleeding.
