Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. Try different lacing patterns or consider if the size is appropriate. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The midsole foam can compress with extensive use. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished after hundreds of miles, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
While the outsole offers high grip, extremely wet or slippery conditions can challenge any shoe. Exercise caution and consider shoes with specific wet-weather traction patterns if this is a frequent concern.
