Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first few wears
This is normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase distance.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Consider replacement after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Feet feel too warm
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Clean any debris from the mesh upper that might be impeding airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them in gradually for the first few runs to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for asphalt surfaces. They are suitable for neutral pronation and ideal for training and achieving max comfort. They are not recommended for trail running or for individuals requiring significant stability or motion control features.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is advisable to keep them in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup.
