FAQs

What does 'Protro' mean?

What is the significance of the numbers 8, 24, and 2 on the shoe?

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during movement

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the noise persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly.

Tight fit impacting comfort

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a slightly snug fit, try wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with shorter wear periods. Avoid extreme heat to prevent material damage.

Color transfer to socks or floor

New dyed materials can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. This is more common with darker or vibrant colors. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing and avoid wearing with light-colored socks in damp conditions.
