Troubleshooting

Cushioning feels too firm

The Shox cushioning may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot.

Squeaking sound from cushioning

This can sometimes occur as the components settle. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder around the affected areas or ensure no debris is trapped.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and clean regularly with appropriate methods to prevent material degradation and fading.

Fit feels snug

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. If the fit remains too tight, consider if the size is correct for your foot shape.
