Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper

Natural wear and tear can cause creasing on leather uppers. To minimize this, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration of Electric Green laces

If laces become dirty, hand wash them with mild detergent and cold water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or drying which can damage the material or cause color bleeding.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

New sneakers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn; an improper fit is the most common cause of discomfort.
