Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Try wearing them with different types of socks to adjust the fit.
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking if the laces are too tight.
Dirt or stains on the mesh material
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the affected area. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Loss of cushioning feel over time
The ABZORB cushioning may naturally compact with extensive use. Ensure the shoe is clean, as debris can sometimes affect the feel. For significant loss, consider replacing the insoles.
