Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled excessively tight. If the issue persists, consider wearing them with thinner socks or exploring professional stretching services.
Fraying on textile upper
Trim any loose threads carefully with small scissors. For minor wear, a fabric glue can be applied sparingly to prevent further fraying.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean and free of debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider using a sole protector spray designed for footwear, or consult a cobbler for alternative sole treatments.
