Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight/loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size.
Reduced energy return over time
Ensure the midsole foam has not been compressed by excessive everyday training. Limit the use of these shoes to race days and high-intensity speed work to preserve their responsiveness.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for dry road conditions. Be cautious on wet surfaces as grip may be reduced. Avoid using in excessively wet conditions.
Discomfort during the first few runs
Allow a short break-in period with a few shorter runs to adapt to the shoe's aggressive geometry and carbon plate. Focus on form and pace during these initial runs.
