Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon initial wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Wearing them with medium-weight socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Reduced grip on very wet surfaces
While designed for slip resistance, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction. Exercise caution on highly polished or very wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris for optimal grip.
Color transfer to socks
Some color transfer may occur with the dark dye, especially during the first few wears or if the shoes become wet. This is usually minimal and can be reduced by avoiding excessive moisture and allowing the shoes to dry naturally.
