Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial runs
The shoes may require a break-in period. Start with shorter runs and gradually increase mileage as your feet adapt to the cushioning and geometry.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions can still challenge traction; run with caution.
Shoe feels too firm
This can be due to the responsive nature of the DNA FLASH v2 and the SpeedVault plate. Ensure you are using them for their intended purpose (speed work, long runs) where this responsiveness is beneficial. If persistent, consider a more cushioned shoe for daily training.
Upper feels warm
While the mesh is breathable, intense activity in high heat may still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking to aid in temperature regulation.
