Troubleshooting
Uneven lacing tension
Adjust the laces by loosening them at the eyelets and re-tightening evenly from the bottom up. Ensure the doubled-up eyelets are managed consistently.
Slight creasing on the upper
Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Dirt accumulation on the layered elements
Use a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) with a mild cleaning solution to gently scrub the layered details. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
