Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Linen can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Discoloration on linen material
This can occur from water exposure or friction. Try spot cleaning gently with a mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct sunlight.
Traction seems reduced
The waffle outsole may accumulate dirt or debris. Clean the grooves with a brush to restore grip.
