Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Squeaking noise from shoes
Check if the insole is properly seated or if moisture is trapped. Remove the insole, dry both thoroughly, and replace. If the noise persists, it might be from the sole material rubbing.
Fading color on faux leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use a specialized faux leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for cleaning, and consider a faux leather conditioner if available.
