Can I use these shoes if I overpronate?

Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially, or try them with thinner socks. The materials may stretch slightly with use.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
The cushioning may naturally compress after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles (or when wear is evident) for optimal performance and protection.
Discoloration on upper material.
This can occur due to dirt or scuffing. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions.
