Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and the ankle strap. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a slightly looser fit, or if consistently uncomfortable, re-evaluate sizing.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure you are not over-tightening the laces and avoid flexing the shoe excessively during wear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Discoloration on the white parts
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, use a specialized white shoe cleaner. Avoid contact with dark or dyed fabrics that could transfer color.
Ankle strap feels loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop fastener to a tighter setting. Ensure the strap is clean and free from debris that might prevent a secure closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for sports footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Ankle Strap: Fasten the ankle strap securely but not too tightly to avoid discomfort and premature wear.
