Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. Wear with appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, consider an alternative size or model.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Midsole foam can degrade with extensive use. This is normal wear and tear. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running.
Poor traction on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is durable, traction on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For extremely wet conditions, exercise caution.
