What kind of surfaces are best for these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable, secure fit. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Running shoes have a limited lifespan. If cushioning feels diminished, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes. This typically occurs after 300-500 miles of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Exercise caution and consider alternative footwear for very wet or icy conditions.
