Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently to adjust fit. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for the right size, noting potential differences in US/Euro sizing on the packaging.
Discomfort during runs.
Check that the shoes are properly laced. Ensure they are suitable for your foot type and running style. For persistent discomfort, consult with a footwear specialist.
