Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Gentle flexing of the sole and upper can also help.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The gum sole provides optimal grip on dry surfaces. Be cautious when skating or walking on wet surfaces as traction may be reduced.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with durable skate-specific laces. Ensure laces are not overtightened, which can cause unnecessary stress.
Excessive rubbing or discomfort on the heel or ankle
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thicker socks or adjusting the lacing pattern.

Care:
