Can the Gorge Green color bleed onto other items?
It is possible for vibrant dyes to transfer, especially when the shoe is new or exposed to moisture. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially and be mindful of damp conditions.

Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or pressure points.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If pressure points persist after a break-in period, consult a footwear specialist.
Reduced reflectivity.
The 3M reflective material may lose some efficacy over time with heavy wear and cleaning. Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean and free of debris, as dirt can obscure the effect.
Color transfer from Gorge Green to lighter socks or pants.
New shoes, especially those with vibrant dyes, can sometimes transfer color. This is more common in damp conditions. It's advisable to wear darker socks initially and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain until the color stabilizes.
Squeaking noise during wear.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area to reduce friction.

Compatibility:
Designed as women's footwear, these shoes are intended for adult use. They are compatible with most casual and athletic apparel.
Care:

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
