How do the hollowed rubber outsoles improve performance?

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's width is suitable for your foot.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris from the grooves. Ensure the surfaces you are walking on are not excessively wet or oily.
