Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on and re-tie them for a personalized fit. If still too tight, consider if you have selected the correct size or if the regular fit is not suitable for your foot shape.
Lack of cushioning on longer runs
The Adizero EVO SL is optimized for medium distances. For longer runs, consider using a shoe with more substantial cushioning. Ensure you are using appropriate running socks, which can also affect perceived cushioning.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Continental Rubber outsole offers good grip, extremely wet conditions can reduce traction for any shoe. Run with caution and be mindful of your footing on slick surfaces.
