Troubleshooting
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the laces are tied correctly for a secure yet comfortable fit. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Consider if the shoe's neutral support is appropriate for your gait.
Shoes feel wet or clammy
The breathable mesh is designed to allow air circulation. If the feeling persists, ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air out completely between runs.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with significant mileage. Follow care instructions to maximize lifespan. Consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use.
