Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a slightly snug fit, wear with thinner socks. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider a different size or model.
Foot feels warm or sweaty.
The engineered mesh and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® are designed for breathability. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If excessive heat is a concern, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Tread wear on the sole seems excessive.
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. For rough terrain or heavy use, consider a more rugged shoe. Check for any embedded debris in the sole that might be causing premature wear.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Utilize the tied-off stretch laces to create a wider opening. Gently slide your foot in. The laces are designed for a secure fit once on, not for initial entry.
