Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to achieve a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If issues persist, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The foams may require a short break-in period. If cushioning significantly degrades over time, check for any damage to the midsole or outsole. Ensure the shoes are being used on appropriate surfaces.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The redesigned podular outsole provides traction on dry roads. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as with any running shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Upper material feels abrasive
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Wear them with appropriate running socks for a few runs to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure the laces are not overtightened, which can cause pressure points.
