Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have followed the sizing guide and selected the appropriate size. If between sizes, the larger size is recommended. Wearing them for short periods can help them mold to your feet.
Traction seems poor
Check the rubber outsole for excessive dirt or wear. Clean the outsole with a brush. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Suede material looks faded or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
