Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
Synthetic materials can take a short time to mold to your foot. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Consider adding a non-slip sole grip or pad to the bottom of the shoes if you frequently encounter slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and dry before wearing.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the shoes fit correctly. If the discomfort persists, it may be that the wedge height is not suitable for your comfort level for extended periods. Consider adding a more supportive insole if appropriate, though this may alter the fit.
