The shoe weighs approximately 8.4oz (238g) for a men's size 9, with women's sizes typically being lighter.

This is common with shoes featuring plates. Wear them for shorter runs or around the house initially to allow the cushioning and plate to break in and adapt to your foot.

Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris. The PWRRUN PB foam and nylon plate are designed for durability, but extreme conditions or heavy use can impact performance. Consider replacing after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

Ensure you have the correct shoe size. If the discomfort persists, consider if you have specific arch support needs; these shoes include an SRS insole, but aftermarket insoles might be necessary for some individuals.

Check lacing to ensure a secure fit. If the upper consistently feels too loose, it may not be the ideal model for your foot shape or support needs. Ensure you've tried different lacing techniques.
