Troubleshooting
Interchangeable accessories are difficult to attach.
Ensure you are aligning the accessory correctly with the designated attachment point or eyelet. Gently push or slide the accessory into place. If resistance is met, do not force it, and re-check alignment.
Laces are fraying or breaking.
Use the provided spare laces or replace with similar quality laces. Avoid excessive pulling or tugging when lacing or unlacing the shoes.
Leather material appears creased or scuffed.
Minor creasing is normal with wear. For scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or cleaner appropriate for the shoe's finish. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive abrasion.
Ankle strap loses its velcro grip.
Clean the velcro surfaces gently with a soft brush to remove any lint or debris. If the velcro is significantly worn, it may need professional repair or replacement.
