Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Different lacing techniques can alter the pressure points and overall fit. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size and consider if a different width is needed.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Continental Rubber offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Run with caution and ensure your stride is controlled. The outsole is optimized for road surfaces.
Discomfort or blisters during first runs
This may indicate a break-in period is needed. Wear the shoes for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure socks are appropriate and avoid friction points.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Keep track of your mileage and consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) depending on usage and surface.
