Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a break-in period. Consult sizing charts for comparable models if purchasing again.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and dust. Ensure the surface you are skating or walking on is dry.
Suede material looking worn or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid washing the shoes in a machine.
