Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new foam compounds. Try flexing the shoe or running a few miles to see if it subsipates. Ensure insoles are properly seated.
Foot fatigue after a run
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider if the shoe's cushioning level is appropriate for your running style and mileage, or if the shoes require a break-in period.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for versatility, but traction on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced compared to specialized grip shoes. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal performance.
