Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing as needed for a snug but comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or a different size.
Reduced cushioning effect
The Shox columns may take some time to break in. If the cushioning feels diminished, ensure the shoes are clean and dry. For persistent issues, consult product support if within warranty.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
While the Waffle outsole offers good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris. Use caution when walking on very slick surfaces.
