Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to find a more comfortable fit. Some runners may need a break-in period for the shoe's specific geometry.
Reduced energy return over time
This can occur with significant mileage. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that might impede performance. If the issue persists, it may be time to consider replacing them due to wear.
