Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if a break-in period is needed. Try wearing with thinner socks.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try loosening and re-tightening laces. If the noise persists, check for any foreign objects trapped in the sole or between the upper and sole.
Dirt or stains on the material
