Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing system. For a looser fit, slightly loosen laces throughout. For a tighter, more secure fit, pull laces firmer from the toes up to the ankle. Ensure a snug fit that still allows for comfortable movement.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during wear
Ensure the wearer is using breathable athletic socks. The shoe's upper is breathable, but proper sock material makes a significant difference. Consider airing out shoes after each use.
Laces frequently come untied
Teach the wearer to tie a double knot, especially before intense activities. This provides extra security. Regularly check laces for wear and tear.
Shoes seem less responsive or cushioning feels flat
While Lightstrike Pro is durable, all cushioning can compact over time. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose. If they are very old or heavily used, consider if it's time for a new pair to maintain performance benefits.
