Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Perform several shorter runs to allow the foam and plate to adapt to your foot mechanics. Verify you have the correct size and fit.
Reduced energy return over time
The responsive foam may compress slightly with extensive use. For peak performance, reserve these shoes for race days or key speed workouts rather than daily training.
Discomfort during longer runs
Confirm the shoe size and width are appropriate. If experiencing new discomfort, consider if the aggressive geometry is suitable for your biomechanics or if a different shoe model might be a better fit for your training.
