Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

Experiment with different lacing techniques. Ensure your socks are not too thick or thin for the shoe's fit. Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and performance.

Noticeable lack of bounce or cushioning over time

While the maximalist midsole is durable, cushioning materials can compress over extensive use. Consider the mileage on your shoes; running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles depending on running style and terrain.

Slight rubbing or discomfort in specific areas

Ensure your socks are seamless and designed for running. Check for any small debris inside the shoe. Gradually break in new shoes with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.
