Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

The knit upper is designed to be snug. Wear them for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different model might offer a wider fit.

Discoloration on the knit upper

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Velcro patch detaches easily

Ensure the heel overlay and the patch are clean and dry before attaching. Press firmly to secure. If the issue persists, the Velcro may be worn, and replacement patches are recommended.
