Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces and re-tie them more gently. For looseness, ensure the laces are pulled snug and tied securely.

Dirt buildup on mesh areas.

Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Discoloration from scuffs.

For minor scuffs on leather or suede, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, consult specific product care guides for leather and suede.
