Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Gentle flexing can also help.

Dirt marks on the white mesh.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Ensure not to oversaturate the mesh.

Discoloration of neon yellow accents.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean these areas gently with a damp cloth without harsh cleaners.
