Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are slightly tight, wearing them for short periods with thin socks can help them stretch gradually. For persistent tightness, consider a professional shoe stretching service.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber soles provide grip, but some smooth surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean; debris can affect grip. For increased traction on specific surfaces, consider adding rubber sole grips.
Discoloration after cleaning
This may occur if harsh cleaners were used or if the shoes were exposed to direct sunlight while wet. Always use mild soap and water and air dry away from direct heat or light.
