Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, try wearing them with thinner socks. Some mesh uppers offer slight stretch, but a size adjustment might be necessary for a comfortable fit.
Slipping during runs
Check if the outsole is clean and free from debris. Ensure you are running on surfaces appropriate for the shoe's traction capabilities. If wear is excessive, consider replacement.
Reduced cushioning effect
The cushioning materials may compress over time with heavy use. If the shoes no longer feel supportive, it may be time to consider a new pair.
