Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially can help them mold to your feet.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For extremely wet or slick surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the soles are clean of any debris that might affect grip.
Discomfort after extended wear
Check if the lacing is too tight or too loose. Ensure the socks being worn are appropriate for athletic footwear. If the discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's fit is suitable for your foot type.
