Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Adjust the lacing or try a different sock thickness. Consider if you've selected the right size.
Outsole wear is excessive.
Review your running style. If wear is uneven, consider a gait analysis to check for pronation issues. Consider changing surfaces.
