Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your feet. Consider using thicker socks if they feel slightly loose, or thinner socks if they feel snug.
Discoloration or material damage
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean stains promptly using the recommended spot-cleaning method with a damp cloth.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material. Ensure you are not tying them too tightly.
