Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between shoe layers or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both are completely dry, and reinserting them. If the noise persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot's shape and volume.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning materials may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn and consider cleaning them as per care instructions, which can sometimes help refresh the feel.
