Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction between parts. Try wearing slightly thicker socks or gently dusting the inside with talcum powder.

Laces are difficult to tighten evenly

Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly. Try loosening the laces completely before re-tightening them starting from the bottom eyelets.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, clean gently with a mild soap and water solution, then air dry.
