Troubleshooting

Uneven lacing tension

Loosen all laces, then re-tie, ensuring consistent tension across all eyelets. Adjust the tongue for central positioning.

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit.

Creasing on the midsole

Minor creasing can occur with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use.
