Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable or wobbly due to high stack height.
Ensure laces are tightened appropriately for a secure fit. Gradually acclimate to the shoe's high stack over several runs. Some runners may naturally prefer a lower stack shoe.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning after significant use.
Running shoes, especially high-performance models, have a lifespan. If responsiveness diminishes significantly, the cushioning may be compressed, indicating it's time to consider replacement. Track your mileage to gauge wear.
Experiencing slips on wet or uneven surfaces.
While equipped with Lighttraxion and Continental rubber, no shoe can guarantee absolute grip on all surfaces. Adjust your pace and stride in adverse weather conditions or on slippery terrains. Check the outsole for embedded debris.
