Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider alternative lacing techniques. If the issue persists, a larger size may be necessary.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
The waffle sole provides grip on most surfaces, but exercise caution on very wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Discoloration of nylon upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.
Suede overlays appear worn
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray periodically to maintain appearance and prevent damage.
