How does the UK 5.5 sizing compare to other standards?
UK 5.5 is a specific sizing convention. It is advisable to consult a comprehensive size chart or try the shoes on if possible to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary between brands.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the Quicklace system is clean and free of debris. If the laces are frayed, they may need replacement. Check the lace garage for any obstructions.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear.
This often indicates a break-in period is needed. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the fit is correctly adjusted.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The Contagrip outsole performs best when clean. Remove any mud or debris from the treads. For extremely slick conditions, exercise caution.
Shoes feel too narrow or too wide.
Verify you have selected the correct UK size. The Quicklace system allows for some adjustment, but a fundamental fit issue may require trying a different size.
