Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and width have been selected. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check lacing for even pressure distribution.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning will naturally soften with use. If the shoes feel significantly compressed or offer little support, it may be time for replacement after extensive mileage.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, wet surfaces can reduce grip for any shoe. Exercise caution and reduce speed on wet terrain.
