Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. Loosening the laces can also provide more room.

Uneven wear on the sole

This can sometimes be related to gait. If the wear is excessive and causing discomfort, consider consulting a podiatrist or trying insoles for support. Ensure the lacing is consistent.

Material discoloration or damage

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with appropriate materials as outlined in the care instructions.
