Troubleshooting
Discomfort during first wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short distances initially and gradually increase the duration.
Slipping sensation on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road grip. On very wet or smooth surfaces, extra caution may be needed. Consider specialized shoes for wet conditions if this is a frequent concern.
