Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thicker socks or using insoles for a snugger fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wears.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole and cushioning system are designed for durability, but performance can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they show significant wear.
Suede material getting dirty or wet
Apply a suede protector spray before use. Clean spills immediately with appropriate suede cleaning products. Avoid wearing in very wet conditions.
Traction issues on slick surfaces
Ensure the triangular lugs on the outsole are clean and free from mud or debris. The traction is optimized for standard running surfaces; use caution on extremely wet or icy conditions.
