Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the shoe is properly laced, not too tight or too loose. Check that you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size or width is truly optimal for your foot shape. Break-in period for new shoes is also common.
Suede or mesh looking dirty/stained
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for appropriate spot cleaning methods for suede and mesh. Act quickly on stains to prevent them from setting.
Soles feeling less responsive over time
This is normal wear and tear over the lifespan of a running shoe. Regular rotation with other footwear can extend the life of the cushioning. Ensure you're storing them correctly (not crushed) to maintain sole integrity.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes a squeak can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe bed. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and reinserting it. If the squeak persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
