Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The lightweight upper and SRS insole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially, and they should mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
While PWRRUN is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease over time. Ensure you are rotating shoes if you run frequently and consider replacement after significant mileage.
Upper feels warm during runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The breathable upper is designed for ventilation; try loosening the laces slightly.
