Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try wearing them with appropriate running socks. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While designed for long-lasting performance, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or when you notice a substantial decrease in comfort and support.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for various running conditions but may offer reduced grip on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such environments.
