Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them for short periods can help break them in. Consider using thinner socks.
Cushioning feels too soft for lifting
While designed for comfort, the cushioning offers a stable base. For maximum ground feel during heavy lifts, ensure your foot is positioned centrally on the sole.
Dirt accumulation on the foam
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the foam. Wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.
