Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more comfortable fit.
Reduced grip during lateral movements
Check the outsole for debris or wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
Heel slipping during lifts
Ensure the laces are tied securely, especially around the ankle collar. Verify you are using the correct lacing technique for stability. The shoe size might also be slightly too large.
