Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them for a customized fit. Consider wearing them with thinner socks if necessary.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the GEL™ Technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement after significant mileage.
Soles showing wear
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear, especially in high-impact areas. This may indicate it's time to consider a new pair for optimal performance and safety.
Discomfort in the arch area
The GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC Support System is designed for stability. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoes are properly laced and consider if your foot type requires a different support system.
