Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Try loosening the laces and re-lacing them, focusing on even pressure distribution. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot. Refer to ASICS sizing guides.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole foam naturally compresses with use. This is normal wear. For extended performance, avoid using the shoes for non-running activities and ensure proper care and drying.
Squeaking noise during activity
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure the shoe is completely dry. If the noise persists and is bothersome, it may be an internal characteristic of the shoe.
