Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during first use
The shoe features aggressive geometry; ensure you have a proper warm-up and gradually increase mileage to allow your muscles to adapt.
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the asymmetrical lacing system carefully to ensure even tension across the bridge of your foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight construction for faster turnover
- High energy return from the advanced PEBA foam
- Excellent grip and traction for road racing
- Secure, locked-in fit provided by asymmetrical lacing
Cons
- Optimized primarily for race-day performance
- Less cushioning for slow-paced recovery mileage
- Aggressive geometry may require an adjustment period
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your laces are adjusted using the asymmetrical system to achieve a snug but comfortable lockdown. Given the technical nature of the foam, it is best to avoid using these shoes on abrasive, rocky, or non-paved trails that could compromise the outsole and midsole integrity. To maintain the life of your trainers, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after particularly muddy or dusty runs. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the cushioning properties of the foam.
