Troubleshooting
Feeling too much movement inside the toe box
Try using a runner's loop or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the midfoot more firmly.
Knit upper showing debris accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or trail grit after your runs to maintain fabric breathability.
Shoe feels stiff out of the box
The DNA Tuned foam may require 20-30 miles of break-in time to fully adapt to your weight and stride pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by testing the shoes with your preferred running socks to confirm the fit within the Linear Last space. If you utilize custom orthotics, the internal volume is specifically designed to allow for an easy swap with the factory insoles. To maintain the performance of the foam, avoid machine washing or drying; instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain the structural integrity of the knit upper over time.
