Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight
The leather and EVA footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short intervals initially. If persistent, ensure you have the correct size; consider a half-size larger if uncomfortable.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur from the tongue rubbing against the upper or the footbed shifting. Ensure the laces are appropriately tied and the footbed is seated correctly. A small amount of powder under the footbed can sometimes help.
Material scuffing or discoloration
Light scuffs on leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For discoloration, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather and textile uppers. Protectants can help prevent future marks.
