Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently or replacing the insole if more space is needed. Break them in gradually over a few runs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The foam may need a few runs to 'break in'. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If the issue persists after significant mileage, the foam may be degrading.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road grip, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.
Upper material feels too warm
While breathable, in very hot conditions, some users may experience warmth. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Consider a different shoe model if extreme heat is a consistent factor.
