Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during run
Check for debris lodged in the outsole grooves. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not causing friction.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing different socks. Ensure the shoe is broken in properly.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can feel less pronounced as the shoe breaks in. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to replace the shoes based on mileage.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for dry/damp asphalt. For significant wet conditions, consider shoes with more aggressive tread patterns.
