Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then adjusted for a snug, not overly tight, fit. Consider wearing with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, verify the correct size has been selected.
Tread seems to have lost grip
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or slippery.
