Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a standard double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust lacing tightness or try different socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size or fit is appropriate.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The Shox cushioning is designed for durability. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or a new sole. Try wearing them in dry conditions or check for any debris trapped in the sole mechanism. Talcum powder can sometimes help if the noise is internal.
