Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. If the tightness persists, consider a different width option if available or a different model.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
While the DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning does naturally degrade over many miles. Consider replacing your shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use for optimal performance and protection.
Upper feels less breathable
Ensure the engineered mesh is clean and free of debris. If the shoes have been heavily soiled, a gentle cleaning as per the care instructions may help restore breathability.
