Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially or during light activities to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. Adjust lacing to provide more room if needed.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the shoes are not overused beyond their intended lifespan. For best performance, consider replacing them after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, depending on running style and terrain.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces
While the XT-900 outsole offers good grip, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution and run at a reduced pace in such conditions.
