Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Lacing adjustments can also help to alleviate pressure points.
Soles showing signs of wear quickly
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces or for activities beyond their design scope can accelerate wear.
Discoloration on the green fabric
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth, using minimal soap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized shoe cleaner for fabric.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar durable material. Keep laces tied loosely when not wearing to reduce stress.
