Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during first wear
Ensure the correct size is selected. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Most discomfort resolves after a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoes naturally lose cushioning with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. Be cautious on very wet or slick surfaces as grip may be reduced. Ensure laces are tied securely.
