Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Try different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be ideal for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally compress with significant mileage. Check for excessive wear on the outsole, which might indicate it's time for a replacement pair. Proper care can help maintain cushioning performance.
Upper feels too warm
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but individual experiences can vary. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. In very hot conditions, consider thinner running socks.
