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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male use. While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, they are not designed for specific athletic disciplines or as protective gear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic and textile upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. Ensure all cleaning agents are mild.
