Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size is selected. Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. Consider a break-in period.
Water enters the shoes.
Ensure the shoes are properly laced to seal out water. The GORE-TEX layer is water-resistant, but prolonged exposure or deep puddles may cause water to enter.
Outsole wears down quickly.
The Durabrasion rubber outsole is designed for durability. Avoid using the shoes on extremely abrasive surfaces. Consider alternating with other running shoes to extend their life.
Loss of cushioning over time.
The EVA foam midsole can compress over time. Replace the shoes when cushioning is noticeably reduced or after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on individual running style and weight.
