Are these shoes suitable for overpronators?
These shoes are recommended for neutral pronators. Runners who overpronate may require shoes with specific stability features.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you are wearing the correct thickness of running socks. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's shape or the 8mm drop is affecting fit. Consult the sizing chart and consider trying a half-size up or down if available.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Running shoes lose cushioning after a certain mileage (typically 300-500 miles). If the shoes feel significantly less cushioned, it may be time to replace them. Ensure no debris is trapped in the midsole foam.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Clean the shoes to ensure mesh vents are not blocked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It's recommended to wear them for a few shorter runs to break them in before attempting longer distances.
Compatibility: Recommended for runners with a neutral pronation. The 8mm heel-to-toe drop is a standard feature for many running shoes, but runners accustomed to zero-drop or lower-drop shoes may need an adjustment period.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes using a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
- Usage: These trainers are designed for running. While they can be used for other light activities, prolonged use for sports with lateral movements or high impact may reduce their lifespan and performance capabilities.
