Troubleshooting
Color transfer from socks onto transparent upper
Opt for light-colored or sheer socks, or socks made from materials less prone to color bleeding. If transfer occurs, gently clean with a damp cloth.
Metallic overlays scuffing or peeling
Avoid abrasive surfaces and activities that could lead to significant scratching. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Minor scuffs may be inherent to the material's finish.
Unusual fit or pressure points
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. If issues persist, consult a footwear specialist.
