Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width, as fit can vary.
Synthetic leather shows creases or scuffs.
Minor creasing is normal with synthetic leather. For scuffs, try gently wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance may vary on highly polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
Inner cushioning feels inadequate after extended wear.
The ORTHOLITE sockliner offers initial cushioning. For added comfort, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for trainers.
