Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed and tied securely but not excessively tight. If the fit is consistently an issue, consider the next size up or down.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consult specific suede cleaning guides.

Sole feels uncomfortable after extended wear

Ensure the shoe is properly broken in. For persistent discomfort, consider if the shoe's cushioning meets your personal needs. The WRPD Runner is designed for lifestyle comfort, not intensive athletic support.
