Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or an alternative model known for a wider fit.
Discomfort during runs
Verify the shoe size is correct and appropriate for your foot width. Ensure laces are tied properly to provide adequate support without restricting circulation. The shoe may require a break-in period.
Color transfer noticed
This can occur with darker colors, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Clean affected areas gently and allow the shoe to dry completely before wearing.
Mesh material shows signs of wear
Avoid abrasive actions or excessive friction. Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap. For significant tears, repair may not be feasible; consider replacement for continued athletic performance.
