Laces loosening during activity

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a more durable or grippier material if slippage persists.

Slight discomfort in the heel or toe area

Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. If discomfort continues, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape. Consult sizing charts or try other models.
