Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after wearing
Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to mold to your feet. Verify you have the correct size.
Upper material feels stiff
Gently flex the shoe to loosen the material. Wear with appropriate socks. The textile upper will soften with continued use.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The grip is designed for urban environments. For very slick surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris which can affect traction.
Color transfer onto socks
This can occur with new, dark-colored footwear. It is usually temporary and should reduce with wear. Washing socks separately for the first few wears is recommended.
