Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the product description's advice on measuring foot length from heel to toe. If still unsure, consider trying on in person if possible or consulting size charts and reviews for guidance on fit.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. For very slick surfaces, additional caution may be needed.
Feet feel warm or damp
While designed for breathability, prolonged intense activity in warm conditions may still lead to some warmth. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Clean the shoes to ensure vents are not blocked.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that the size is correct. Break in the shoes gradually by alternating with your current footwear. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support features are suitable for your gait.
