Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in to your foot shape.
Reduced grip during lateral movements
Check the outsole for debris or wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the outsole is significantly worn, consider replacement.
Ankle collar feels stiff
Gently flex the ankle collar area manually to soften the material. Wear with appropriate socks to prevent irritation during the break-in period.
