Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Slight odor develops
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of the same length and material.
Discoloration on fabric uppers
Attempt gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner, but avoid harsh detergents.
