Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose

Adjust the lacing pattern or tie them more securely using a standard knot. Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris.

Slight color variation from online image

Display device differences can affect color perception. The actual color may vary slightly. Refer to the product description for main colors.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The ORTHOLITE™ sock liner will conform to your foot over time.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The shark-tooth sole provides traction, but can be slippery on very wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
