Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacement if significant wear is apparent.

Discoloration of the grey material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with mild soap and water as per care instructions.
