Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
This can be a sign of normal wear. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in support and cushioning.
