Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with athletic socks for an initial break-in period. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers or consult a professional for custom fitting options.

Laces wear out quickly

Replace with durable, high-quality replacement laces. Ensure laces are not excessively tight during wear, which can cause premature wear.

Color transfer onto socks

This can sometimes occur with new, vibrant dyes. Washing the inside of the shoes lightly with a damp cloth may help reduce excess dye. It's also advisable to wear darker socks initially.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball and athletic activities. Not recommended for heavy-duty outdoor use or adverse weather conditions due to the materials and design.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
