Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. Consider a gradual break-in period, wearing them for shorter distances initially.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan. Midsole foam naturally compresses with use. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant decrease in comfort or performance. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for reliable grip, wet conditions can reduce traction for any shoe. Exercise caution when running on wet surfaces and consider alternative footwear if extreme conditions are expected.

Care:

- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to degrade or shrink.
