Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks for initial runs if the fit is snug but comfortable.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities other than intended daily runs. If heavily used, the natural wear and tear of cushioning is expected. Consider replacement after significant mileage.
Outer material showing wear
Avoid abrasive surfaces and clean gently. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For more significant wear, professional shoe repair services might offer solutions.
