Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the shoes remain too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in time is needed.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The cushioning may naturally degrade over time with significant use. Ensure the shoes have not exceeded their typical lifespan (generally 300-500 miles for running shoes).
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris causing friction. Minor rubbing may resolve with a short break-in period.
