Troubleshooting
Laces loosening frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Leather creasing excessively.
Creasing is natural with leather; to minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees for storage when not in use.
Metallic Swoosh losing shine.
Gently wipe the Swoosh with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which can damage the finish.
Sole becoming discolored.
Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with certain surfaces that may cause staining.
