Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the forefoot leather strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow for a short break-in period. The leather components may need time to mold to your foot's shape. Wear them for short durations initially.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Avoid saturating the material.
Leather overlays scuffed
Use a leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the leather type to help mask minor scuffs and restore appearance.
