Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Wear with appropriate running socks.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole cushioning is designed to be durable, but performance can subtly decrease with extensive mileage. Consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on your running style and weight.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
While the PUMAGRIP outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slippery conditions can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.
Upper material feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free of dirt or debris. Over time, oils and sweat can slightly impede breathability. Gentle cleaning as per care instructions should help.
