Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size using the provided size chart. If they feel slightly snug, wearing thin socks for a short period might help. If they are consistently too loose, consider trying a smaller size or using insoles for a better fit.

Difficulty slipping shoes on

Ensure the elastic side panels are not obstructed. Gently pull the heel tab while sliding your foot in. If the shoes are new, they may require a short breaking-in period.

Stains on the checkerboard pattern

For fresh stains, immediately blot with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mixture of mild soap and cold water with a soft brush, then rinse lightly and air dry.

Sole losing grip

Check the waffle pattern for embedded debris and clean thoroughly. If the rubber has become worn down significantly, it may be time to consider replacement.
