Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check your lacing for tightness or looseness. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If new, allow for a short break-in period. If issues persist, consider professional fit assessment.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole is high-grip, extreme wet or slippery conditions may still reduce traction. Adjust your stride and pace accordingly. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
Shoes feel too stiff or unresponsive initially
Running shoes often have a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter runs to allow the cushioning and upper materials to conform to your foot.
Unpleasant odor develops in shoes
Remove insoles after runs to allow air circulation. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure proper drying after runs.
