Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Huarache fit can be snug. Try wearing them with thinner socks or breaking them in gradually. If the tightness persists, consider if a larger size is needed.
Discoloration on leather or textile
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult specialized shoe cleaning guides for leather and mesh. Avoid excessive water exposure.
Heel strap feels loose
Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. The elastic strap is designed to conform to the heel; if it feels excessively loose, it might indicate a sizing issue or wear over time.
Rubber heel cage shows scuffs
Minor scuffs on the rubber cage can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider using a rubber cleaner or a very mild abrasive cleaner suitable for rubber.
