Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causes rubbing
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Consider using thinner socks or breaking them in further on shorter runs.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Running shoes, especially performance models, have a finite lifespan. The foam and plate may lose some of their effectiveness after approximately 300-500 miles of use. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry when not in use.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extremely wet or slick conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution and maintain a controlled pace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are ready-to-wear performance shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short run before a major race to acclimate to the feel.
Compatibility: Designed for road running surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners.
Care:
- Cleaning: After running, gently brush off loose dirt. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and technology.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage will help maintain the integrity of the foam and carbon plate.
