Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them more loosely. Consider wearing thinner socks or allowing a break-in period.
Difficulty lacing evenly
Ensure the tongue is centered and start lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling each lace loop evenly to maintain symmetry.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe. Try adding a talcum powder or foot powder under the insole, or check if the laces are rubbing against the tongue.
