Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Try wearing them with appropriate running socks. Break them in gradually with shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Check for excessive wear on the outsole or midsole. Clean any debris from the midsole that might be affecting the feel. Note that cushioning naturally reduces with mileage over time.
Slipping during runs
Clean the PUMAGRIP outsole to remove any dirt or debris that could impair traction. Ensure you are running on suitable surfaces for the shoe's design (road/track).
