Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even fit without over-tightening.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris. Be aware that optimal traction is on dry to moderately wet trails; very slick surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Discomfort after a run
Check lacing for even pressure distribution. Ensure the shoe's fit is correct for your foot shape. Consider the terrain and distance covered; for longer or more intense runs, ensure adequate recovery.
