What is the benefit of the platform sole?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight initially.

Allow some break-in time as the leather and textile materials will soften with wear. Consider wearing thicker socks or using a shoe stretcher to speed up the process.

Checkered pattern fading.

Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Sole wear and tear.

The waffle outsole is designed for durability, but regular use will cause wear. Consider a shoe repair shop for sole replacement if necessary.
