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.

  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
