Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try loosening the laces and re-tying them, or consider if the shoe's width is suitable for your foot.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
Discoloration after cleaning
Ensure you are using a mild soap and a damp, not soaking, cloth. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry to moderately wet running surfaces. Exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery conditions.
