The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not constricting. Experiment with different lacing techniques. The sock-like cuff may require a slight break-in period.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Ensure the shoe's cushioning technologies (FF BLAST+ MAX and PureGEL) are performing as expected. If the shoes have significant mileage, cushioning can degrade over time. Check for any debris trapped in the outsole tread.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the ASICSGRIP™ and AHARPLUS™ outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Run with caution and be mindful of slick surfaces.
Difficulty pulling shoes on
Utilize the pull tab at the heel. Ensure the tongue is properly aligned and not bunched up inside the shoe. The sock-like fit might feel snug initially.
