Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing the time to allow them to mold to your feet.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole provides good traction on most surfaces, but grip can be reduced on very wet or slippery conditions. Exercise caution in such environments.
Mesh upper appears to be snagged
Gently pull the snagged thread outwards and trim any excess with small scissors. Avoid sharp pulling which could enlarge the snag.
