Troubleshooting
Color transfer from denim to socks or other clothing
This can occur with new denim. Wearing darker socks initially and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture can help mitigate color transfer. Washing the shoes is not recommended as it can damage materials.
Denim fraying excessively
The frayed edges are a design feature. If fraying becomes too extensive, careful trimming with small scissors may be an option, but this should be done sparingly to avoid altering the intended look.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. If rubbing persists at specific points, consider using moleskin or adhesive bandages on those areas of the foot.
Loss of shape
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the sneaker's original shape. Avoid storing them under heavy objects.
