How do I clean the black and orange colorway?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Try wearing them with thicker socks or allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if this size is suitable for your foot shape. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Traction seems reduced.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the surface you are on is also clean.
Leather shows scuffs or marks.
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for minor marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or repair kit might be necessary.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace worn laces with standard shoe laces. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
