Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider using the next available larger size if experiencing significant discomfort.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days, or apply a small amount of powder under the insole.
Color transfer to socks
This is more common with darker dyes in new footwear. Wear dark socks initially or gently wipe the inside of the shoe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry.
