Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them outside until they feel comfortable.
Reduced cushioning over time
Running shoes' cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing your shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use.
Mesh feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is free of dirt and debris. Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
