Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between shoe layers. Ensure shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, try a light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with ones that offer better grip.
Fit feels too tight
Try loosening the laces, especially around the midfoot. If still too tight after adjusting lacing, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width. The shoe is designed for a snug, performance fit.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
The outsole grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For exceptionally wet conditions, exercise caution.
