Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning has not been compressed by excessive weight or improper storage. For significant degradation, it may be time to consider replacement after extensive mileage.
Upper feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure but not constricting fit. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road surfaces. For wet conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced. Consider alternative footwear if frequent running in wet conditions is a primary use case.
