Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with the intended type of socks. They may need a short break-in period.
Sole feels unusually grippy or stiff
The lug outsole is designed for traction. This grip may feel pronounced on very smooth indoor surfaces. The stiffness will likely lessen with regular wear.
Color transfer from shoes
In rare cases, dark dyes may transfer slightly onto light socks, especially when new or wet. This should reduce over time. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks.
Difficulty cleaning specific stains
For stubborn stains, consider using a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for suede and textile materials. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
