Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the Quicklace system for a more customized fit. Ensure you are using the correct UK size. Some users may require a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to their foot shape.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the Contagrip outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn.
