Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe requires a brief break-in period. Refer to sizing charts for accurate measurement.
Discoloration on mesh areas
Gently clean the mesh with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material or cause further discoloration.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the outsoles are clean from dirt and debris. For persistent slipperiness on smooth surfaces, consider that the tread may be worn down; assess if the shoes need replacement.
