What kind of outsole do these shoes have?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly. For more room, loosen the laces, especially over the instep.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or with the floor. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the noise persists, try a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the synthetic outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip.

Leather material scuffing

For minor scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or cleaner can help buff out the mark. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be considered.
