Troubleshooting
Tight fit on first wear
The trainers may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Slight discoloration
Ensure the shoes are not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with a mild soap and water solution.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While BOOST technology is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure proper cleaning and care to prolong performance.
