Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff on first wear
The carbon plate requires a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter runs or walks to gradually adapt the materials and your stride.
Slipping or lack of stability
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly and securely. Verify that you have selected the appropriate size; a shoe that is too large can cause instability.
Midsole feels unresponsive
The PEBA midsole is designed for responsiveness, especially at higher speeds. Ensure you are running at a pace that allows the shoe's technology to engage effectively. Clean any debris from the outsole for optimal traction.
