Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, try loosening the laces. For looseness, ensure they are tied securely, and consider using different lacing techniques if necessary. If the size is fundamentally wrong, consider exchanging for a different size.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Check the outsole for excessive wear; if significantly worn, replacement may be needed.
Discomfort in the heel or midfoot
Ensure socks are appropriate and not bunched up. Verify the shoe size is correct. If the discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the shoe's cushioning or support profile suits your foot type.
