Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too loose after some wear.
Check the anchor points where the bungee connects to the eyelets to ensure they haven't slipped, and re-tighten the internal slack if the design permits.
Difficulty getting the shoe on with high insteps.
Ensure the tongue is pulled fully forward and use a shoehorn to help guide the heel into the shoe without collapsing the back.

Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and mud.
- Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and material structure.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from cracking or warping.
- Use a soft brush to remove loose debris from the outsole treads.
