Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the outsole. Try removing the insole and drying both the insole and the shoe's interior thoroughly. If the noise persists, it might be a minor manufacturing anomaly.
Cushioning feels too firm or too soft
Cushioning can feel different based on individual weight and running style. The 1080v15 is designed for a balance of cushioning and responsiveness. If it feels off, ensure you have the correct size and consider if your running surface or intensity has changed.
Foot fatigue after a run
Check that you have the correct shoe size and that they are laced appropriately. If fatigue persists, ensure the shoes are suitable for your foot type and biomechanics. Consider if you have recently increased your mileage or intensity.
