Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or friction. Try loosening the laces slightly, or if moisture is suspected, ensure the shoes are completely dry.
Flyknit material feels too tight
Flyknit offers a snug fit. Loosen the laces to provide more volume. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Difficulty cleaning the clear midsole
Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh cleaners or scrub brushes that could cause micro-scratches on the clear material.
