Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie them more comfortably. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
Slight discomfort during first wear
This can be normal as shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
