Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned and tied securely but not excessively tight. Refer to sizing guides if the fit consistently feels incorrect.

Dirt or scuffs on the synthetic parts

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth wipe-down.

Mesh area appears dirty

Spot clean the mesh gently with a soft brush or cloth and a minimal amount of water. Avoid soaking the material.
