Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Wear with thin socks initially and allow for a brief break-in period. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size is needed.
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
GEL cushioning feels stiff.
New GEL cushioning may feel firm initially. Gentle wear over time will help it conform to your foot's shape.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides standard traction. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces.
