Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
New shoes, especially highly cushioned ones, may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short walks initially before longer runs.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The lifespan of cushioning can be affected by mileage, weight, and impact. Regularly check for signs of wear on the outsole and midsole.
Tongue slips to one side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the additional eyelet at the top of the tongue for a more secure fit.
Excessive pressure points
Re-lace the shoes, ensuring even tension. If pressure persists, the fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.

Care:
