Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning can compress with extensive use. Ensure proper care and consider replacement after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Discomfort on one foot
Check for debris inside the shoe. If the discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider trying different lacing techniques.
