Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to moisture inside the shoe. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the noise persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the shoes are not overly worn. For everyday use, the GEL technology is designed for long-lasting comfort, but it's not intended for extreme wear and tear.
