Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try loosening the laces before putting them on and re-lacing them to your comfort. Consider the possibility of a different shoe model if the fit is consistently problematic.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning technology in running shoes naturally degrades with mileage. If you've accumulated significant miles (typically 300-500 miles), it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
While the mesh upper is breathable, very hot conditions or intense activity can still lead to heat buildup. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
