Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels uncomfortable or loose.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure it's not too tight to restrict circulation or too loose to cause rubbing.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Like many new shoes, these may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations around the house before extended use to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Scuffs or marks appear on the faux leather.
Gently wipe scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, then wipe dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Consider adding thin insoles for extra cushioning or arch support if needed, especially for very long periods of standing or walking.
