Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to find a more secure and comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider the fit of the size you selected, as different sizes can fit differently.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the triangular lugs provide good grip, wet surfaces can inherently reduce traction for any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution.
Suede material looks scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended, followed by proper drying.
