Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust lacing technique. Ensure socks are appropriate thickness. Consider consulting a running specialist for sizing if discomfort persists.

Lack of expected cushioning after extended use

Midsole cushioning degrades over time with high mileage. Consider replacing shoes if mileage exceeds typical recommendations (300-500 miles) or if they feel 'flat'.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While equipped with a high-grip outsole, extreme conditions can still reduce traction. Slow down on very wet or icy surfaces. Inspect outsole for excessive wear.
