Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Discoloration on the synthetic upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using colored cloths that might transfer dye. If discoloration persists, consult the care instructions for appropriate cleaning methods.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can decrease with prolonged heavy use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive strain can help maintain performance. For significantly worn cushioning, replacement may be considered.
