Troubleshooting
Soles peeling away from the upper
This can sometimes occur with heavy use. Minor separation can be addressed with a strong adhesive suitable for footwear, applied in a thin layer. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break-in period may be required. Try wearing thicker socks or adjust lacing to improve fit.
