Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and adjust lacing pattern for a more personalized fit. Check if the correct size has been purchased.
Reduced cushioning or bounce over time
This can be a sign of wear. The FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam may lose some of its responsiveness after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road grip; however, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Exercise caution during wet runs.
