Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or consider if this specific size and width is the best fit for your foot shape. For persistent issues, consult a shoe fitting specialist.
Reduced traction or slipping
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with a brush or damp cloth. If wear is significant, it may be time to replace the shoes.
Upper material feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is not clogged with dirt. Clean the upper gently as per care instructions. Avoid wearing in extremely dusty environments without regular cleaning.
