Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing thinner socks or allowing a brief break-in period might help. If significantly tight, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.
Lack of grip on the track
Check the outsole for any debris or wear. Ensure the track surface is dry. The shoe's traction is optimized for specific track conditions; performance may vary on different surfaces.
Discomfort during throwing motion
Verify the lacing is appropriate for your foot and the specific event. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width. Some break-in time may be necessary for the cushioning and support to fully adapt to your foot.
