Troubleshooting
Foot Discomfort or Rubbing
Ensure the shoe size is correct and laces are adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Check your socks for seams or bunching. Consider if a break-in period is still needed.
Squeaking Sound
Sometimes squeaking can be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, dusting with a little baby powder, and reinserting it. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry.
Unpleasant Odor
Remove insoles after each use and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda sachets inside. Regularly clean insoles as part of your care routine.
Premature Wear of Sole or Upper
Assess your usage. While durable, these sneakers are designed for general comfort and light activity, not intensive, high-impact sports which can accelerate wear. Ensure proper cleaning and storage to extend lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
- Lacing: Before wearing, ensure your laces are properly tightened to secure your foot without being too restrictive. A snug fit prevents your foot from sliding inside the shoe, which can cause discomfort or blisters.
- Break-in Period: Like most footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the sneakers to conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, wear with athletic or performance socks. Avoid overly thick socks that might compromise the fit.
- Activities: Best paired with casual wear, athleisure, or light athletic apparel for activities such as walking, light jogging, or general daily use.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently spot clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials. Remove insoles and open up the laces to allow for thorough drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in damp environments or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets.
