Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole by removing any dirt, mud, or debris that may be lodged in the tread pattern. Check for excessive wear on the outsole, which may indicate it's time for a replacement.
Discoloration on the upper or midsole
Refer to the care instructions for gentle cleaning. Avoid using bleach or strong chemicals. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
