Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them with a focus on even pressure distribution. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size and consider if a different lacing technique might help.
Reduced cushioning or energy return over time
This is normal wear and tear. The foams will compress slightly with use. To maximize performance, follow the care instructions and consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles (or when noticeable wear is present).
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction for typical road conditions. For significantly wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
