Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure.
Traction feels reduced on slippery surfaces.
Clean any mud or debris from the outsole lugs. Ensure the shoe materials are not saturated, as this can affect grip. For extremely slick conditions, consider specialized footwear.
