Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure correct sizing and lacing. Try different lacing techniques to alleviate pressure points. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While the cushioning is durable, its responsiveness may subtly decrease with very high mileage. If a significant reduction is felt, it might be time to consider a replacement pair.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The road-focused outsole may offer less grip on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and reduce speed in such conditions.
