Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more runs. If it persists, check for any loose parts or debris trapped in the sole.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available. Adjust lacing to find a more secure fit.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may gradually decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of running, or if you notice a significant drop in comfort.
