Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try lacing them less tightly or consider using thinner socks. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The NITRO foam is designed for durability, but intense use will naturally break it in. Ensure the shoe is clean, as dirt can affect perceived performance. If significant degradation occurs, consider replacement.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers good traction, but extremely wet or slick surfaces can challenge any shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean; debris can reduce grip. For very wet conditions, exercise caution.
