Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to tighten evenly
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the webbed system. Try loosening all laces before re-tightening from the bottom up for a more uniform fit.
Discomfort in the heel area
Ensure you have the correct size and that the heel counter is not creased. Break-in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Mesh appears dirty and difficult to clean
Use a soft brush with a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the mesh area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
