Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size larger or a wider fit if available.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While ASICS cushioning is durable, repeated heavy impact can eventually reduce its effectiveness. Ensure proper care and consider replacing shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, or when visible wear and loss of cushioning are apparent.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road surfaces. Traction on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Run with caution in wet conditions.
