Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

While designed for good traction, performance can vary with surface type and wear. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For exceptionally slick conditions, exercise increased caution.

Sizing feels off

Footwear fit can be subjective. If the UK 7.5 size feels too large or small, consider trying a half-size up or down, or consult the brand's sizing chart for detailed measurements.
