Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Traction feels poor on wet surfaces
While the outsole is durable, optimal traction is generally on dry or moderately wet roads. Clean the outsole of any debris that might affect grip. Be cautious on very slick surfaces.
Mesh upper is not as breathable as expected
Ensure the mesh is not clogged with dirt or debris. For maximum breathability, make sure to clean the shoes regularly according to care instructions.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
Cushioning preference is subjective. These shoes are designed for maximum softness. If they feel too soft, consider if they are the right model for your specific biomechanics or running intensity. If too firm, ensure they are fully broken in.
