Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to find a more secure or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot. Refer to sizing guides or try on different sizes if possible.
Slight discoloration on synthetic/mesh areas
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. For tougher spots, a very mild soap solution can be applied with a soft brush, followed by a thorough wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the shoes air dry completely.
Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces
Check the herringbone pattern on the outsole for any embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a brush. If the outsole appears significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
