What materials are the shoes made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of textile and leather, the lining is textile, and the outsole is synthetic.

How do I clean the leather parts of the shoes?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, consider a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear, following its instructions carefully.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if a brief break-in period is needed.

Slipping on certain surfaces

Ensure the synthetic outsole is clean and free from debris. For exceptionally slick surfaces, be cautious as specialized traction may be limited.

Unusual noise when walking

Check for any foreign objects trapped in the sole or between the upper and midsole. Ensure laces are not rubbing against each other excessively.
