Troubleshooting
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to air pockets. Try wearing them for a few runs to see if it subsides. If persistent, ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Unusual wear on the outsole
Review your running gait and technique. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (primarily roads). Uneven wear can sometimes indicate biomechanical issues. Consult with a running specialist if concerns persist.
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Experiment with different sock types. If discomfort persists, these may not be the right fit for your foot type.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.

- Laundering: Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can compromise the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
