Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If still tight, consider trying a half-size up, as these models can sometimes run narrow.

Cushioning feels insufficient for long runs

These shoes are optimized for light running and everyday comfort. For high-mileage running, consider shoes specifically designed for performance running.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance on very wet surfaces may be limited. Exercise caution in wet conditions.
