What are the main materials used for the upper?

How is the cushioning technology in this shoe?

The shoe features an N-ergy midsole, designed to provide energy return and responsive cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are properly loosened before putting on. Try wearing thinner socks. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Reduced cushioning over time

The N-ergy midsole may naturally decrease in responsiveness after significant use. Consider if it's time to replace the shoes for optimal performance and support.

Mesh appears dirty

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh areas. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
