Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Utilize the pull tab on the exposed foam tongue and loosen the laces before sliding your foot in. Adjust the lacing system for a comfortable fit once on.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the noise persists, it may lessen with continued wear.

Leather overlays feel stiff

Leather can be stiff initially. Wear the shoes regularly for short periods to break them in. Conditioning the leather can also help soften it over time.

Mesh upper getting dirty

Clean the mesh promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush, but avoid excessive scrubbing.
