Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking material. The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice can significantly impact comfort. Also, check that your shoes aren't laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Try using a 'heel lock' lacing technique. This involves creating an extra loop at the top eyelet and threading the lace through it before tying, which can help secure the heel more effectively without overtightening the forefoot.

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or by moisture inside the shoe. Try removing the insoles, cleaning them and the footbed, then allowing both to dry completely before reinserting. If the squeak persists, ensure no small debris is lodged within the outsole.
