Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The materials will soften and conform to your foot shape over time.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Laces not staying tied
Ensure you are using a secure knotting technique. If the laces are old or particularly smooth, consider replacing them with a different type of lace that offers more grip.
