Troubleshooting
Sizing appears incorrect on the box/label
The shoe box or label may display US or European sizing. Always try the trainers on to confirm they match your UK size requirement. Compare with the actual fit, not just the printed size.
Felt uncomfortable after initial wear
New footwear can sometimes require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud, oil, or debris, which can affect traction. The non-slip sole is designed for most common surfaces, but extreme conditions may vary.
