Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Try adjusting the lacing to provide more or less tension across different parts of the foot. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down, checking available variant siblings.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Ensure the midsole and heel pods are free of debris. While the cushioning is durable, significant wear may gradually reduce its effectiveness. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Mesh upper appears dirty or discolored

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water for gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners. Ensure to rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.
