Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort during initial wear

The full-length plate and foam may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris, especially around the midsole and outsole. Excessive wear and tear will naturally reduce performance; consider replacement after significant mileage.

Upper feels loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied properly.
