Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during first wear.
New running shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase the distance.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
The cushioning materials may have compressed over time. Consider replacing the shoes if they have accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Traction feels inadequate on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions may still pose a challenge; run with caution.
Feet feel hot during runs.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. If the issue persists, consider thinner running socks or check if the shoe size is appropriate.
