Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially across the midfoot, and re-tie them. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size. If still too tight, consider insoles or socks that are thinner.
Discomfort during runs
Check lacing technique and tightness. Ensure the sockliner is properly seated. Consider if the shoe's cushioning level is adequate for your mileage and biomechanics. Consult a professional if persistent.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Use caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Upper feels stiff
The engineered mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
