Are these shoes suitable for everyday training or just racing?
While excellent for speedwork and racing, their performance-oriented design might feel firmer for some runners seeking maximum cushioning for all their daily miles. They are suitable for dedicated training runs where speed is a focus.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if insoles are needed.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the laces are tied securely. Check that the socks worn are appropriate for running and do not cause excess friction or slippage. Clean any debris from the outsole that might affect traction.
Discomfort in the arch or heel
Verify the correct size and width. Consider using aftermarket insoles for added support or cushioning if needed, ensuring they do not compromise the shoe's lockdown.
Upper feels restrictive
The mesh upper is designed for support and lockdown. Allow a short break-in period. If persistent, ensure the lacing system is not overtightened in specific areas.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- May offer less cushioning for very long, slow runs compared to maximalist shoes.
- The performance-oriented design might feel firm for casual runners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably by adjusting the laces. The secure eye-stay construction helps maintain a consistent fit once laced.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running and track workouts. They are suitable for neutral runners. Consider your typical running surfaces and training intensity when choosing these shoes.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
