Ensure you have the correct size for your feet. Check the lacing – adjust tightness, especially around the midfoot, to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit.
Try different socks (thicker or thinner). Check for any debris inside the shoe. Ensure the tongue and collar are properly positioned. Allow a short break-in period for the shoe to mold to your foot.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Remove the insole and clean both the insole and the inside of the shoe. Allow them to dry completely before reinserting the insole.
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (light running/walking, not heavy athletic training). Rotate your shoes if you use them daily. Follow proper cleaning and storage guidelines to extend their lifespan.
