Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The materials may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Creasing on the leather upper.
Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Scuff marks on the foam elements.
Gently clean scuff marks with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a non-abrasive cleaning solution suitable for foam materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Uneven fit.
Ensure laces are evenly tied and not too tight. Check that you have the correct size; if the issue persists, consider a different size or width if available.
