Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if any part of the sole is rubbing against the upper.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Wear with appropriate socks. New shoes may require a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean and free from debris. The micro-siped tread is designed for water dispersion, but excessive mud or oil can still affect grip.
Material discoloration or damage
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions to prevent damage.
