Troubleshooting

Due to the layered eyelet design, ensure laces are threaded through the correct eyelets for a balanced fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what's most comfortable.

Color fading or material damage.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions. Clean only with recommended mild solutions and allow to air dry.
