Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
Yellowing of the translucent outsole
This is a natural process for translucent soles. To slow it down, store the shoes away from direct sunlight and heat. For minor yellowing, specialized sole brighteners may be used cautiously.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try to identify if the squeak is coming from the insole or elsewhere. If from the insole, removing and reinserting it might help, or lightly dusting the inside with talcum powder.
