Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of specialized zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth for smoother operation.
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or a wider fit if available. Break them in gradually with short walks.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the Vibram outsole offers good grip, always exercise caution on extremely slick or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean; mud or debris can reduce its effectiveness.
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Check if the insole is properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help resolve it.
