Troubleshooting

Discomfort during first wear

New shoes can sometimes require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using appropriate socks.

Scuffs or dirt on the leather/mesh

For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner or appropriate shoe polish can be used. For dirt on mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on outsole

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the outsole appears worn down, it may be time to consider replacement, as grip can be compromised over time.

Color transfer onto socks

Some darker dyes may initially transfer. This is more common in humid conditions. Wearing darker socks can minimize the visual impact. If excessive, consider a fabric protector spray suitable for footwear.
