Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the laces for a more secure or relaxed fit. Consider trying a different size if discomfort persists.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently clean the affected area. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Mesh upper appears worn or snagged
Be mindful of rough surfaces during wear. Gently trim any loose threads with scissors. For significant damage, professional repair might be needed.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
The cushioning may naturally compress with regular use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities that exceed their intended purpose (e.g., intense athletic training).
