Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with the alternative laces provided, or purchase a new set of laces of similar material and length.
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize deep creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may be affecting traction.
Discoloration of painted grooves on the midsole
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Fading over time is a possibility with painted details.
