Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, try wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in. You can also try loosening the laces.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning technology may naturally wear down with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use or when cushioning feels significantly reduced.
Upper material appears dirty
Follow the cleaning instructions: use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized shoe cleaner might be effective, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Poor grip on surfaces
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with a brush and water. If the outsole is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
