Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring shoes with a wider fit.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology provides lasting comfort, but cushioning can diminish with heavy use. For best results, use for intended purposes (walking, casual wear) and consider replacing after significant mileage or wear.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers good traction, but like all footwear, can be less effective on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
