Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider using different lacing techniques to adjust the fit. If the issue persists, trying a different size or width may be necessary.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, it's important to note that no footwear is entirely slip-proof on wet surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect grip.
Midsole cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong the midsole's effectiveness. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes if used daily.
