Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations. The Durabuck upper and Air unit will soften with use.
Scuff marks on the Durabuck upper
Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, specialized suede/nubuck cleaners may be used with caution.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
