Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight on first wear.
This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Slight squeaking sound.
Squeaking can sometimes occur between the tongue and laces, or from the insole. Try removing the insole and placing a thin cloth or powder underneath. Check if the laces are rubbing against the eyelets.
Mesh appears to be snagged or pulled.
Gently try to smooth the mesh with your fingers. Avoid catching the mesh on sharp objects. For minor snags, a careful trim with small scissors might be possible, but proceed with caution.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but like most trainers, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
