Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure laces are properly adjusted using the bungee system. Try wearing with different sock thicknesses. The knit and neoprene materials may require a short break-in period.
Squeaking sound during movement
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. The sound may diminish with wear.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt buildup that might be affecting grip.
