Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot or consider replacing them with a pair that offers better grip.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase the wear time.
Color transfer to socks
This can sometimes happen with new, darker colored footwear. Wear darker socks initially until any potential excess dye has washed out. Test with a damp white cloth on an inconspicuous area.
