Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's construction. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting a thin insole to mitigate friction. Ensure the shoe is not excessively damp.
Color transfer onto socks or feet
New shoes, especially those with darker dyes, may experience some color transfer initially. This usually diminishes with wear. Wearing darker socks can help mask any temporary transfer. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before wearing.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the laces to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall fit is incorrect for your foot shape, consider using aftermarket insoles or lacing techniques to customize the fit. For persistent issues, ensure you have selected the correct size.
