Below are examples of sole separation and why it may be happening:
- The shoe is being used for the wrong activity.
- For example, using a running shoe designed for forward motions for sports or activities, such as tennis or soccer.
- Wearing the wrong shoe for your gait.
- Lack of or incorrect technology needed to correct over or under pronation may cause stress on the upper of the shoe.
- Lack of or incorrect technology needed to correct over or under pronation may cause stress on the upper of the shoe.
- Wearing the incorrect size or width.
- Sole may separate near the ball of the foot if the shoe is too narrow.
- A properly fitting shoe should provide about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe and the laces should run parallel to each other when the shoes are laced and tied.
- We recommend getting feet measured at least once a year and prior to each new shoe purchase.
- The shoes have not been used for long periods of time.
- Materials start to dry and weaken over time due to exposure to air.
- The foam material and glues may loosen or crumble after sitting for long periods of time.
- We recommend wearing shoes as soon as they are purchased to get the best life out of them.
- Stepping on the back of each shoe to take it off, especially without untying or loosening them first.
- May cause the back of the heel to separate from the upper.
- Outsole may loosen or separate.
- We recommend untying or loosening shoes before taking them off with your hands.
- Machine washing or drying shoes.
- Doing so can compromise the materials of the shoe.
- Sole may separate from the upper.
- Drying shoes can cause the rubber to shrink or warp.
