Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced cushioning or bounce over time.
The cushioning materials may naturally compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect performance. If the issue is significant, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal performance.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for dry to moderately wet asphalt. For extremely wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impair grip.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that no seams or stitching are causing irritation. Consider the type of socks being worn. If discomfort is persistent, it might be due to the shoe's fit for your specific foot type or biomechanics.
