Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Cushioning feels flat
The cushioning may have compressed over extensive use. If the shoes are significantly worn, it may be time for a replacement. Ensure no debris is lodged in the midsole or outsole that could affect feel.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
The triangular lugs provide good grip, but wet conditions can challenge any outsole. Clean the outsole regularly to remove dirt that can fill the lugs. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning guide or product.
