Troubleshooting
Tread wears down quickly
Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads, tracks) and not excessively on abrasive terrains. Check for proper running form.
Laces come undone frequently
Tie laces securely using a double knot or consider replacing them with textured laces that offer better grip.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
Cushioning feel can be subjective and may change slightly as the shoe breaks in. If the feel is drastically wrong, ensure you have the correct model for your needs. This model is designed for maximum cushioning.
Discomfort in the arch area
Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Consider using after-market insoles if you have specific arch support needs, but try them without first to gauge the shoe's natural support.
