Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose in certain areas.

Adjust the traditional lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns (e.g., skip an eyelet for pressure points) to find a personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing.

Check your sock choice; a good quality, moisture-wicking running sock can prevent friction. Re-evaluate the lacing tension. If issues persist, ensure the shoe size is correct, considering foot swelling during runs.

Lack of expected stability or support.

Confirm you have selected the correct size. The Center Path Technology and stability features are designed to work optimally with a proper fit. Ensure laces are securely tied to lock the foot in place.

Slipping on wet or varied surfaces.

While the XT-900 outsole provides excellent grip, always exercise caution on slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread, which may indicate it's time for new shoes.

Feet feel too warm or sweaty during runs.

Ensure you are wearing breathable, moisture-wicking running socks. The engineered mesh upper is designed for ventilation, but heavy socks can counteract this benefit. Consider running in cooler conditions or adjusting your footwear if necessary.
