What materials are used in the ProGrid V2?

Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or stiffness
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size and sufficient sock thickness.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general use. For superior grip on wet surfaces, exercise caution or consider specialized footwear if this is a frequent concern.
