Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Ensure the shoe is fully unfastened. Gently guide each toe into its respective section before securing the straps.
Discomfort from split-toe design.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the foot to adapt. Using thin socks might help some users during the adjustment phase.
