Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Adjust the lacing system to achieve a personalized, secure fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time.
The lifespan of cushioning can vary based on mileage and running style. If you notice a significant decrease in responsiveness, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes. Ensure they are not exposed to extreme heat which can degrade cushioning.
Upper material feels restrictive.
The Flexfilm upper is designed to be flexible yet supportive. Ensure the laces are not overtightened. Wear the shoes for a few shorter runs to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
