Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Loosen the laces and the ankle strap, then re-tighten them to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Wearing them for short periods can help break them in.
Creasing on the upper material
Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather and synthetic materials. To minimize visible creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly flexing the shoe during wear.
Dirt or stains on the white upper
Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner might be effective. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Ankle strap doesn't feel secure
Ensure the hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure is clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure the strap. If the strap material is worn, it may affect its grip.
