Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear

Performance footwear often requires a short break-in period; wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.

Soles losing traction

Clear the outsole of any accumulated dust or debris using a soft brush or a damp cloth to restore grip.

Staining on the upper material

Gently spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemicals.
