Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort or unusual foot sensation
This is common when transitioning to barefoot-style shoes. Gradually increase wear time to allow your feet and muscles to adapt. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Reduced grip on very slippery surfaces
While the Vibram EcoStep outsole offers excellent grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris for optimal performance.
Upper feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the recycled laces to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure the heel is locked in without excessive pressure.
