Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and thickness of socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. If the tightness is persistent and uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width is needed.
Leather or suede appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner for leather uppers or a suede brush and appropriate protector for suede uppers. Follow product instructions carefully.
Soles becoming dirty
The XL Extralight sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
