Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct or consider the lacing technique for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or bounce after several runs.
While PWRRUN cushioning is durable, its responsiveness may subtly change. Ensure you are not exceeding the shoe's intended mileage for optimal performance. Clean the shoes as per care instructions.
Upper material feels warm or not breathable enough.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Clean any debris from the mesh that might be blocking ventilation. The breathable upper is designed for comfort, but extreme heat may still lead to warm feet.
