Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of dirt or debris. Try applying a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes on shorter walks before attempting long distances. Consider using aftermarket insoles for personalized arch support if needed.
