Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to conform to your foot shape. This is common for new footwear.
Discoloration from dirt or scuffs
Follow the care instructions for cleaning. Use a targeted stain remover for stubborn marks, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the issue persists and is significant, inspect for any irregularities in gait or potential product defect.
