Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from sole

This can sometimes occur due to new materials. Wear them for a few more days to allow them to break in. If the noise persists, check for any trapped debris in the sole grooves.

Discomfort during initial wear

The unique sole design may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

Some color bleeding can occur with new, brightly colored footwear, especially when wet. Allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing, and consider wearing darker socks initially.
