Troubleshooting
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Try adjusting the lacing. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's cushioning profile is suitable for your gait and running style.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Rotate your shoes with another pair if possible to extend their lifespan and comfort.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While designed for general use, the outsole may have reduced grip on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
