Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff on first wear
The Shox technology may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they become more flexible.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that your gait is natural. If the wear seems excessive or abnormal, consult a footwear specialist.
Difficulty cleaning moulded details
Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the intricate moulded areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Soles squeak
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped within the sole unit or between layers. Ensure shoes are dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder in the insole might help.
