Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear with thin socks initially, or consider a larger size if consistently uncomfortable. The materials may offer some give over time with wear.

Slight squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensure all parts of the shoe are dry.

Color transfer on socks

Some dye transfer may occur with new, dark-colored shoes, especially when wet. This should reduce after initial wears. Consider wearing darker socks initially.
