Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Shoe squeaks during walking
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. It may resolve with wear. If persistent, check for moisture inside the shoe or try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Visible scuffs or marks
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner. For synthetic materials, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, used gently.
