Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks for a few hours at a time to allow them to naturally stretch and conform to your feet. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Try a different lacing technique, such as a surgeon's knot, for a more secure tie.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
This is common with new shoes. The rubber sole may become less slippery as it wears in. For immediate use on slippery surfaces, consider applying a light abrasive treatment to the sole or using traction sprays.
