Can I use these shoes for long, slow runs?
While versatile, these shoes are optimized for speed. For very long, slow runs, you might prefer a shoe with maximum cushioning. However, they can be used for daily miles if you appreciate a lighter, more responsive feel.
What does FANTOMFIT upper mean?
FANTOMFIT refers to an engineered, ultralight construction that provides structure and support while maintaining breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. The FANTOMFIT upper may require a short break-in period.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The FuelCell midsole is designed for performance. If responsiveness decreases significantly, it may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its intended lifespan for peak performance. Ensure they are kept clean and dry.
Discomfort in the midfoot
Check the lacing; ensure the gusseted tongue is sitting correctly and not causing pressure points. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.

Care:
