Troubleshooting

The shoes feel tight initially.

The shoes are designed to conform to the shape of your foot over time. Wear them for a few sessions to break them in.

The grip on the board feels less effective.

Clean the outsole with a brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. Consider replacing the shoes if the grip is significantly reduced.

The toe cap is wearing out quickly.
