Troubleshooting
Discomfort or poor fit
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width if available, or consult with a footwear specialist.
Squeaking sounds
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Try drying the shoes thoroughly and check for any loose components. A light dusting of talcum powder inside might help in some cases.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL™ cushioning is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help preserve the material's properties.
