How do I clean the textile upper?

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water to gently clean the textile upper. Wipe the rest of the shoe with a damp cloth. Always air dry.

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.
