Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points or consider a professional fitting if persistent discomfort occurs.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feel
The DNA FLASH v2 cushioning may take a few runs to break in. If performance issues persist, check for excessive wear on the outsole or consider if the shoe's intended use aligns with your running style.
Upper material feels abrasive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes with shorter runs to allow the upper to mold to your foot shape.
Slipping on wet surfaces
These shoes are optimized for dry asphalt. For wet conditions, exercise caution or consider alternative shoes with enhanced wet-weather grip.

Care:
