Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them looser or wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if this is the right fit for your foot shape.
Lack of grip on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extremely slick conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. If consistently experiencing issues, consider that specialized wet-weather tires might be needed for severe conditions.
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Check lacing technique and ensure no pressure points. If discomfort persists, it might indicate a need for more cushioning or support than this neutral trainer provides.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
