Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on outsole

Ensure proper gait and consider rotation with other footwear for daily use.

Faux snakeskin material creasing excessively

Avoid over-tightening laces and allow the shoe to flex naturally. Store with shoe trees if possible.

Suede areas appear dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialist cleaner for suede.

Torsion system feels stiff

The Torsion system is designed for support and may feel firm initially. It typically softens with regular wear as the shoe breaks in.
