Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Foam Lite 1 insole and lycra lining may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber pods on the outsole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Slight discomfort in heel
Ensure the shoe is laced correctly. The elastic heel support should provide a secure, comfortable fit. If persistent, consider the break-in period.
