Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial runs.
This is common as shoes break in. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot.
Reduced cushioning over time.
Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
Feet feel warm during runs.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Clean any debris from the mesh upper that might be blocking ventilation.
