Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wear with thinner socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher for minor adjustments. Allow for a brief break-in period.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Cushioning feels less effective over time
While GEL technology is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maximize lifespan. Consider replacement if significant wear is visible.
