Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during long runs
Ensure your shoes are laced correctly, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider trying different running socks or insoles if discomfort persists. Verify that your pronation type aligns with the shoe's neutral support.
Reduced grip in wet conditions
While the ASICSGRIP outsole enhances traction, wet surfaces can still be slippery. Adjust your stride and pace accordingly. Regularly clean the outsole to remove any accumulated dirt that might reduce grip.
Tongue shifting or moving during a run
Re-tie your laces, making sure the tongue wing construction is properly seated and snug against the top of your foot. This feature is specifically designed to minimize tongue movement for a more secure fit.
