Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during running
Check for any debris trapped in the outsole or midsole. Ensure laces are properly tied and not causing friction.
Slipping sensation
Verify the fit is snug. If the issue persists, the shoes may not be suitable for your foot type or running gait. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check that the shoe size is correct and not too tight or loose. Break in the shoes gradually over a few runs.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The cushioning and responsiveness naturally decrease with high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on wear.
