Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
The Zoom Fly 5 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Check for excessive wear on the outsole or midsole. Ensure the shoe's internal structure has not been compromised by improper storage or extreme conditions. Clean any debris from the sole that might affect traction and feel.
Discomfort in the arch area
This could be due to foot anatomy or the shoe's specific support profile. Consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support or consult a running specialist.
