Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to better fit your foot. For persistent issues, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently brush off dry dirt. Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution for stains, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Slight squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's construction. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A talcum powder application under the insole might help reduce noise.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
This is more common with new, darker colored footwear. It should diminish with wear. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing. Consider wearing darker socks initially.
