Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Some users may benefit from wearing them with thicker socks or allowing a short break-in period. Try them on indoors first to confirm fit.

Discoloration or scuffs on the surface

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner may be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are securely knotted. Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a different material that offers more grip.
