Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
New shoes, especially those with advanced cushioning, may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage.
Reduced cushioning after several months
While designed for durability, running shoe cushioning naturally degrades over time. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on usage and terrain.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for optimal performance on typical running surfaces. For extremely wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Appearance of wear on the upper material
Minor scuffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Significant tears or abrasions may indicate excessive wear or damage from external factors. Check for sharp objects on your running routes.
