Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing using the articulated eyestay for a more personalized fit. Ensure the heel pull tab is used correctly to secure the heel.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

Over time, cushioning can naturally decrease. For immediate issues, check for any debris within the shoe that might be affecting the foam. Ensure the shoes have not been exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade materials.

Upper material showing wear in high-use areas.

The engineered mesh has a tighter weave in high-wear zones, but excessive stress can still cause damage. Ensure proper fit to avoid unnecessary friction. Clean gently to preserve the material integrity.
