Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are properly tied, not too tight or too loose. Consider trying different sock thicknesses or types. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Over time, cushioning can compress. For optimal performance, consider replacing your trainers after 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning.
Upper material appears worn
Avoid aggressive cleaning methods. Stick to spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Ensure shoes are not exposed to excessive friction or sharp objects.
