Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to official size charts and consider that retro releases can sometimes fit differently. Trying them on in person is recommended if possible. If purchased online, check the return policy for exchanges.
Color transfer from pink to lighter clothing
Allow the shoes to air out completely before wearing them with light-colored socks or pants. If color transfer occurs, clean the affected clothing immediately according to its care instructions.
Creasing on the leather or Durabuck
Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees for storage. Specialized crease protectors can also be used.
Dirt on the translucent outsole
Use a soft brush or melamine foam (magic eraser) with a small amount of water or mild cleaner to gently scrub the outsole. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
