Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort during wear
This is common when transitioning to barefoot shoes. Gradually increase wear time. Focus on proper barefoot form and strengthening foot muscles. Consult a barefoot specialist if discomfort persists.
Traction seems low on wet surfaces
The grip may be reduced on very wet, smooth surfaces. Clean the soles to ensure maximum contact. For extreme conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Material appears to be stretching significantly
A slight stretch is normal as the shoe conforms to your foot. If excessive stretching occurs, ensure you have the correct size. Check the fit in the heel and forefoot.
