Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear thicker socks initially to help break them in, or loosen the laces.
Reduced grip on the outsole.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are skating or walking on is dry.
Stitching appears to be fraying.
This is rare due to reinforced stitching. If minor fraying occurs, it may not affect performance. For significant damage, consult a shoe repair specialist.
