Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Discomfort on one side
Check the sizing and ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If persistent, consider trying a different ASICS model that might better suit your foot shape.
