Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during movement

This can sometimes occur due to new materials rubbing together. Try wearing the shoes for a few more sessions to break them in. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

Laces feel loose despite tightening

Check the Flywire system channels to ensure they are not obstructed. Re-lace the shoes, ensuring the laces pass smoothly through all eyelets and Flywire cables.
