Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly snug, try wearing thinner socks or allow for a break-in period. For persistent tightness, consider a shoe stretcher or consult a professional.
Suede material is discolored or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. Follow the product instructions carefully, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally.
Mesh appears dirty or scuffed
Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could damage the fabric.
Reduced comfort over time
Check the insoles for wear and tear. Consider replacing the insoles with new ones for added cushioning and support. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn out.
