Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, focusing on distributing pressure evenly. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size or wider fit is needed.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning materials can degrade with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended lifespan for running shoes and maintain proper care.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for road traction, extremely wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might impede traction.
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure proper lacing technique and consider if the shoe's drop and cushioning profile are suitable for your running biomechanics. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
