Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements. If possible, try on a pair in-store or consider ordering half a size up or down if initial fit is slightly off.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip.
Slight odor after wear
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use baking soda or charcoal inserts to absorb odors, or consider cedar shoe trees.
Discoloration on material
Consult the care instructions for specific material types. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
