Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher if needed. Break-in period may be required.

Scuff marks on the upper

Use a soft eraser or a specialized shoe cleaning product for the specific material (e.g., suede cleaner) to gently remove marks.
