What is the primary benefit of the PWRRUN PB cushioning?
PWRRUN PB cushioning provides a soft, bouncy, and highly comfortable feel directly underfoot, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances.

Can I use gaiters with these shoes?

What is the shoe's drop and weight?

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather running?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or rub
Adjust lacing to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if needed. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
The Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is designed for excellent traction, but performance can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. For extremely slick conditions, run with caution and adjust pace.
Debris entering the shoe
Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and laces are tied snugly. Utilize the D-ring to attach compatible gaiters for maximum protection against small particles.
