Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too firm
The Shox cushioning system is designed to be responsive and can feel firmer than traditional foam. Wear them for a few more sessions to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider if this cushioning technology is the best fit for your preference.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Ensure they are not overtightened, which can cause undue stress.
Difficulty cleaning metallic finishes
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
