Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with high-performance shoes. Wear them for short, easy runs to gradually break them in and allow your feet to adapt to the technology.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is optimized for dry road conditions. Exercise caution on wet pavement as specialized racing shoes may have less grip than trainers designed for all-weather use.
Upper feels too restrictive
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. Loosen the laces slightly over the instep if experiencing pressure, or tighten if there's too much movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably, with no excessive pressure points. Lace them appropriately for your preferred level of tightness.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running and competitive racing. Not recommended for trail running or heavy gym training due to the specialized nature of the sole and upper.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
