Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width might be more appropriate. The mesh upper will offer some flexibility over time.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Over time, cushioning can degrade with heavy use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for the shoe and consider replacing them if they have significant mileage.
Discomfort in the arch area
The EVA sockliner provides immediate comfort, but individual arch support needs vary. If you experience discomfort, consider using an aftermarket insole designed for your specific arch type.
Soles showing signs of wear
The solid rubber outsole is designed for durability. However, aggressive running styles or use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Rotate shoes if possible and ensure proper care.
