Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Allow for a break-in period. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if different socks are needed.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive use. Consider cleaning the insoles or exploring replacement options if necessary.
Upper material feels stiff
This is normal for synthetic leather. Wear them for shorter durations initially, and they should become more flexible with use.
Poor ventilation
Ensure the mesh underlays are not blocked. Clean the shoes regularly to maintain breathability. For very hot conditions, consider socks designed for moisture-wicking.
