Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques for a tighter hold.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing carefully. Loosen or tighten incrementally until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you have the correct UK 5 size.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. A light sprinkle of baby powder beneath the insole can also help.
Foot discomfort during extended wear.
While designed for comfort, consider if your activity level exceeds the shoe's intended casual use. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and that the lacing isn't too tight.
