Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing or untied laces

Re-tie the laces carefully, ensuring both sets are secured. Experiment with different lacing patterns for a desired look and security.

Dirt or stains on the upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for mixed materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Creasing on the midsole or upper

Creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and store shoes properly. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
