Can I wear these in wet weather?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. If still uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking a half-size larger.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try placing a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. If the noise persists, it might be a manufacturing anomaly.

Color transfer from overlays to socks

Initial wear with dark socks might lead to minor color transfer. This typically reduces with wear. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before wearing.

Yellowing of the midsole

This is a common aging process for foam midsoles, especially when exposed to UV light. Store the shoes away from direct sunlight. While difficult to reverse completely, gentle cleaning with a specialized midsole cleaner might help.
