Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the speed lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across the foot. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size for your foot length and width.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, this is due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning them and the shoe's interior, then reinserting. A light sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can also help.
Foot feels hot or sweaty.
While the mesh upper offers breathability, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Consider using shoe trees or odor absorbers when storing.
