Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Break them in with shorter runs before attempting long distances.
Reduced grip or traction.
Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with water and a brush. If significant wear is visible, consider replacing the shoes.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
This is normal wear. The DNA FLASH v2 cushioning will naturally become less responsive after significant mileage. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for expected lifespan.
Feet feel overheated during runs.
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Clean the mesh upper to ensure breathability is not obstructed. Consider running in cooler conditions if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance. The initial wear should be for shorter runs to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's geometry and cushioning.
Compatibility: Designed for neutral runners. They perform best on asphalt and dry surfaces. Not specifically designed for trail running or activities requiring extreme lateral support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods.
