Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If the lacing system allows, try adjusting the tightness of the laces. Consider using thinner socks if appropriate.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Cushioning materials can degrade with extensive use. If the shoes are nearing the end of their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles), performance may naturally decrease. Ensure they are not overly exposed to heat or moisture during storage.
Discomfort on longer runs
Verify the shoe size and fit. If you require more cushioning or support for very long distances, these shoes might not be the best fit for your needs; consider a shoe with more substantial cushioning.
