Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.

Traction feels poor on wet surfaces

The herringbone outsole offers good traction, but performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider footwear specifically designed for such environments.

Stains on the upper material

For minor stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap. For tougher stains, consult a shoe cleaning guide specific to the materials (e.g., suede cleaner if applicable) or seek professional cleaning.
