Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods. Ensure socks are appropriate and laces are not tied too tightly.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
Cushioning feel is subjective and can vary based on individual weight and running style. The 1080v15 is designed for a balanced, plush feel. If it feels significantly off, ensure you have the correct size and consider trying a different model if personal preference dictates.
Soles showing excessive wear
Check if the shoes are being used on appropriate surfaces (roads, treadmills). Excessive use on abrasive surfaces like concrete or trails can accelerate outsole wear. Consider if the mileage for the shoes has been exceeded.
