Squeaking noise from the shoe
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in. If it persists, check for any foreign objects trapped between layers or within the sole.
Traction feels inconsistent
Ensure the clear outsole is clean and free from debris, dirt, or wax. If the shoe has been exposed to wet conditions, allow it to dry completely.
