Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While Continental™ Rubber offers good grip, always exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean; debris can affect traction.
Cushioning feels too soft
This is an updated feature. If the softness is unexpected, try running in them for a few more sessions to adapt. Alternatively, consider if a firmer shoe model might be more suitable for your preference.
Upper material feels restrictive
The mesh upper is designed for targeted support. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If the restriction is in a specific area, it might indicate a non-ideal foot shape for this shoe.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and mud from the upper and outsole. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Rotation: For runners who train frequently, consider rotating between multiple pairs of shoes to allow them to dry out completely and recover their cushioning properties.
