Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle prongs are properly aligned with the holes. If stiff, try gently wiggling it. Avoid forcing the buckle.
Suede appears discolored or stained
For light marks, try using a suede eraser. For more significant stains, it is best to seek professional cleaning advice for suede.
Footbed feels slightly firm initially
The anatomically contoured footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The grip is suited for everyday use. If you experience significant slipping, consider a professional to add protective sole grips.
