Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose.
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider the fit of different ASICS models.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning may naturally decrease. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For new shoes, allow a short break-in period for the cushioning to adapt to your stride.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is designed for traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip. Run with caution on wet terrain and consider using shoes with a more aggressive tread pattern for very slick conditions.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure the shoes are broken in properly. If discomfort persists, check for any potential rubbing points and adjust lacing. It may also indicate that this particular shoe model is not the best fit for your foot type or running gait.
