What does the 'third eye' logo signify?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting toggle lacing
Ensure the toggles are clean and free of debris. Gently slide them to loosen or tighten. If they feel stuck, a very small amount of silicone lubricant on the lace channel might help, but use sparingly.
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the strap incrementally to find a comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is properly secured on its fastening mechanism.
Suede material appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning products and follow instructions carefully.
Leather shows creases or scuffs
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream polish matching the shoe's color can help to mask them. Avoid excessive flexing of the shoe.
