Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing tension

Adjust the laces individually through the eyelets, ensuring consistent pressure on both sides. The layered nature of the eyelets may require careful adjustment.

Slight creasing on the midsole

Minor creasing on the layered midsole is a normal characteristic of the design. To minimize further creasing, avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking and store them with shoe trees.

Dirt on fabric or suede areas

Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains on fabric, use a damp cloth. For suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
