Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thick socks for a short period or use a shoe stretcher. Allow time for the materials to mold to your feet.
Sole becoming detached
Minor detachment can sometimes be repaired with strong adhesive suitable for rubber and canvas. For significant issues, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
Color fading or bleeding
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When cleaning, use minimal water and mild soap. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping on wet surfaces
