Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper
Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur between the sole and upper. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between tongue and laces.
Color transfer from red accents
In rare cases, dye transfer can occur, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially in damp conditions.
Dirt on white branding
Gently clean with a soft brush, damp cloth, and a mild soap solution. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
