Troubleshooting
Denim appears to be fading or getting dirty.
Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild denim cleaner sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with a similar color or style. Laces can be hand-washed separately with mild soap and water.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If wear is significant, consider professional sole restoration if available.
Sizing feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you purchased the correct size. For initial tightness, wear them around the house with thin socks to break them in. If persistently uncomfortable, consider if a different size is needed.
