Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. If it persists, check for any loose parts or debris.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks for initial wear.

Material scuffs or marks

For suede, use a suede eraser or brush. For fabric and midsole, a damp cloth and mild soap can often remove marks. Always test cleaning solutions on a small area first.
