Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensuring the tongue is properly positioned. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Gum sole appears dirty
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub the sole. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try adjusting the lacing to distribute pressure differently. If the shoes are new, they may need a break-in period.
