Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during run (squeaking)
This can sometimes occur with new cushioning systems. Try running a few more miles to allow the shoe to break in. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Discomfort or rubbing in a specific area
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing different socks. Some users may need a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning may feel less responsive after extensive use. This is normal wear and tear. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and running surface.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for a balance of grip and durability. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
