Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the lacing needs adjustment to provide more or less room.
Reduced traction or slipping.
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the tread gently with a brush. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the shoes.
