Troubleshooting
Uneven lacing or pressure points
Loosen the laces entirely and relace, ensuring consistent tension across all eyelets. Adjust the tightness based on comfort during wear.
Material scuffs or minor damage
For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner might help to mask them. For mesh tears, professional repair may be necessary, but avoid further use to prevent worsening.
Squeaking sound during movement
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between components. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
