Troubleshooting
Slightly different feel from previous Ultra Boost models
The Ultra Boost Light is designed to be lighter. Allow a few runs to adapt to the new feel and cushioning characteristics.
Primeknit upper feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned throughout the eyelets to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, traction can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
