Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. Wear with appropriate running socks.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can degrade with high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles (500-800 km) depending on usage and surface.
Upper material feels abrasive
This may be due to the break-in period or sock choice. Ensure you are wearing socks that cover the area of concern. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These are ready-to-wear running shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility:
