Discomfort or pressure points on the instep
Loosen the upper NUUN dial slightly. Ensure the UNUM Ergo anatomical tongue is positioned correctly and not bunched up.

- Positioning: Adjust cleat position for optimal power and comfort. A common starting point is to align the cleat bolt with the ball of your foot. Experiment with slight fore/aft and rotational adjustments.

- Dials: Periodically check the NUUN dials for debris and clean them gently. Ensure they rotate smoothly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
