Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Wear them for short periods to break them in. If discomfort persists, consider an alternative lacing pattern or a different sock thickness.
Squeaking sound when walking.
New shoes can sometimes squeak due to friction between materials. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may resolve with more wear.
Foot odour develops.
Ensure trainers are completely dry after use. Remove insoles to air them out. Consider using foot powder or shoe deodorizers. Wash your feet daily and wear moisture-wicking socks.
Uneven wear on the outsole.
This can be due to gait or pronation. While the Downshifter 13 offers basic support, consult a specialist if you experience significant uneven wear or discomfort. Rotating your shoes with another pair can also extend their lifespan.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. Laces can sometimes be slippery when new. Consider replacing them with laces that have more texture if this continues to be an issue.
