Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the shoe is fundamentally too small, consider a larger size.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow the shoes a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Stains on the upper material
Refer to the care instructions for cleaning specific materials (synthetic, mesh). Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush for gentle cleaning.
Slight odor
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Use odor-absorbing insoles or allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
