Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate, as the breathable mesh may feel different from other materials.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning technologies are designed for longevity, but heavy use will eventually degrade them. Consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels significantly less effective.
Feet feel hot during runs
While the upper is breathable, very intense or long runs in high temperatures can still lead to heat. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Clean the mesh if it appears clogged with dirt.
