Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoes need a short break-in period.
Soles appear worn quickly
Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity) and not for intense sports or rough terrain, which can accelerate sole wear.
Discoloration on nylon upper
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
