Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to break in gradually. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent.
Discoloration on silver overlays
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser can be carefully used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Be cautious when walking on wet or slippery surfaces as the outsole grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
