Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause hot spots.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. The engineered woven upper may stretch slightly with use, but a fundamentally incorrect size will not resolve.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Midsole foam can degrade with extensive use. While durable, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you run on.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The durable rubber outsole offers good traction, but like all running shoes, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
