Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if a short break-in period is needed.

Slipping on certain surfaces

Ensure the synthetic outsole is clean from mud or debris. The traction is designed for standard surfaces; extreme conditions may reduce grip.

Discomfort during prolonged wear

Verify the lacing is not too tight. Allow for a break-in period if the shoes are new. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
