Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with your preferred running socks. Untie the laces fully and re-lace them, ensuring an even tension across the foot. Break them in gradually with shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning materials naturally break down with use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or if you notice a substantial decrease in comfort and support.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for asphalt, grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole rubber is not worn down, which can also affect traction.
Upper material feels warm
The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but in very high temperatures or during intense efforts, heat can still build up. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If the issue persists, ensure there are no obstructions in the mesh vents.
