Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring even pressure distribution. The engineered mesh upper may also stretch slightly with wear.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the correct size is being used. Check for any knots or friction points in the lacing. Consider using the OrthoLite X-55 sockliner for enhanced cushioning.
Reduced cushioning over time
The FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam and PureGEL technology are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacement after significant wear.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the Hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole offers good durability, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may vary. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.
