Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff on first wear
The PWRPLATE carbon plate may require a break-in period. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your runs over several sessions.
Discomfort in the arch area
This could be due to the shoe's geometry or the PWRPLATE. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using aftermarket insoles if the issue persists and is not related to the plate's function.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for dry asphalt. For wet conditions, exercise caution or consider alternative shoes with enhanced wet-weather traction.
Midsole feels too firm
The NITRO™ foam is designed for responsiveness. If you prefer softer cushioning, these shoes might be less suitable for very long, slow runs where maximum plushness is desired.
