Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct for your foot width, as some models run narrower. Wearing thinner socks may also help.
Suede material looks scuffed
Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap and remove light scuffs. For deeper marks, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.
Soles feel stiff initially
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The cushioning technologies will become more pliable with use.
