Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of powder under the insole might help.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe fitting specialist.

Color transfer from purple material

In rare cases, particularly when new or wet, the purple dye might transfer. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks or letting them get excessively wet. If transfer occurs, clean affected areas immediately with a suitable fabric cleaner.
