Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape; consider trying a different size or model.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean; mud or debris can reduce traction. The Vibram MegaGrip is designed for a wide range of conditions, but extreme conditions may still pose a challenge.
Dirt and debris entering the shoe
Utilize the D-Ring to attach compatible gaiters. Ensure laces are tied securely and the tongue is positioned correctly.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
The dual cushioning system (PWRRUN PB + PWRRUN Frame) is designed for a balance of softness and responsiveness. Personal preference varies; allow for a break-in period. If it consistently feels wrong, it may not be the ideal shoe for your preferred feel.
