Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually over a few days.

Slight color transfer from purple to white areas

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wear. If noticeable, a professional shoe cleaner might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole is designed for grip, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris that might impede traction.
