Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider alternative lacing techniques or consulting a shoe specialist.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
