Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better suit your foot shape. Some materials may require a brief break-in period.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the shoe's intended mileage. Check for any visible damage to the midsole.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
The durable rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is free from debris. For extremely wet conditions, exercise caution.
