Troubleshooting
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the correct size and fit. Consider wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, break them in gradually over shorter distances.
Traction feels insufficient
Check the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure the running surface is dry. For wet conditions, be mindful of reduced grip.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
