Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs. Check lacing technique to avoid over-tightening in specific areas.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for excellent traction, extremely slick surfaces may require slower speeds. Ensure the outsole is free from mud and debris.
Debris entering the shoe
Utilize the gaiter integration system to attach compatible gaiters for maximum protection against small stones and dirt.
