Troubleshooting
Denim fading unevenly
Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and harsh detergents. Spot clean minor marks gently rather than full immersion washing.
Stitching unraveling
Avoid snagging the shoes on rough surfaces. If minor unraveling occurs, consult a cobbler for professional repair.
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if a different size from the available range would be more suitable.
