Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with short periods of wear.
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal with leather wear. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing.
Shox columns feel unstable
Ensure the laces are properly secured. If the issue persists and the shoes are new, there may be a defect. If the shoes are old, the cushioning may have degraded.
Discoloration on metallic finish
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaning solutions that could strip the finish.
