Troubleshooting
Discomfort during first few wears
New shoes, especially those with support systems, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL cushioning may become less responsive with heavy use. Ensure proper care and consider replacement if the shoes have significant mileage.
Slipping during runs
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. If the shoes are worn, the tread may be depleted, indicating a need for replacement.
Overheating feet
While the mesh is breathable, in very hot conditions, it's normal to feel warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks.
