Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you are using the correct sizing chart for UK men's sizes. Consider the specific fit of performance trainers, which can be snugger. If experiencing discomfort, consult the product's sizing guide or try a half-size up or down.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The LIGHTSTRIKE PRO foam is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may diminish with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that could affect performance. For significantly worn shoes, replacement may be necessary.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While equipped with durable rubber, performance on extremely slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean. If consistent issues arise, consider using alternative footwear for exceptionally wet or slippery conditions.
