Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The midsole foam may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt and debris can affect performance. If the shoe has seen significant mileage (typically over 300-500 miles), the cushioning may have reached its end-of-life.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is designed for high grip, performance on extremely wet or polished surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. Consider using shoes with a different tread pattern if frequent use on very slick surfaces is anticipated.
