What does the mesh upper contribute to the shoe?

How durable is the outsole on these trainers?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a brief break-in period. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them, ensuring even pressure.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Over time, EVA cushioning can compress. If you've used the shoes extensively for running or training, consider replacing them. Clean the shoes as per care instructions to ensure no debris is affecting the feel.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

Check the outsole for excessive wear. If the tread is worn down, traction may be compromised. Ensure the surfaces you are running on are dry, as wet surfaces can reduce grip for any shoe.
