Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or small.

As noted, the 204L series tends to run small. Consider ordering a half-size up for a more comfortable fit. If already purchased, ensure laces are fully loosened and wear with thinner socks initially.

Minor scuffs or marks on the upper.

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks on suede areas, a suede brush can be used carefully.

Tread appears worn.

Inspect the tread for significant damage. Minor wear is normal with use. For uneven wear, check your gait or consider the surfaces the shoes are most frequently used on.
