Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing system. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The midsole foam may compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discomfort during initial runs
Allow a break-in period of a few runs. If discomfort persists, check lacing and consider if the shoe's cushioning profile suits your running style.
