Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure laces are tied correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, the fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning will naturally break in with use. If the responsive feel diminishes significantly, it may indicate the trainers have reached the end of their lifespan and should be replaced.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general road traction. Be cautious when running on wet or slippery surfaces as grip may be reduced.
