Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Hook-and-loop fasteners are not sticking well
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces gently with a soft brush to remove lint and debris. Ensure the surfaces are dry before fastening.
Slight discomfort around the ankle
Ensure socks are worn. The padded collar may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the fit is ideal for your foot shape.
