Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
The leather material may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the cross-strap is adjusted for comfort, not overtightening.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber sole provides grip, but extreme wetness can affect performance. Ensure the sole is clean from debris. For competitions in wet conditions, be mindful of the surface and adjust your stride accordingly.
Straps feel loose or are not holding securely.
Check that the hook-and-loop closure on the cross-strap is clean and properly aligned. Ensure you are pulling the strap taut enough before securing it for a locked-in feel.
Slight squeaking sound during movement.
This can occasionally happen with new athletic footwear. Often, the sound will dissipate as the shoe is broken in. Ensure no foreign debris is trapped in the sole or upper.
