Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or firm.

This is common with carbon-plated shoes. Try incorporating short runs with them to allow your feet and legs to adapt to the propulsive plate. Ensure you are using them for their intended purpose (speed work/racing).

Reduced grip on wet surfaces.

Racing tires often prioritize lightweight and responsiveness over extreme grip. Be cautious on wet asphalt. Ensure the outsole rubber is not excessively worn.

Discomfort or hot spots during runs.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider wearing performance running socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the shoe's geometry may not be ideal for your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent energy return for a propulsive feel.
  • Lightweight construction aids in achieving faster times.
  • The full carbon plate offers significant stability and forward momentum.
  • Designed for optimal performance on race day.
  • Good cushioning for a performance-oriented shoe.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for competition, may be too aggressive for daily training.
  • As a neutral shoe, it may not provide adequate support for overpronators.
  • The aggressive geometry might require an adaptation period for some runners.
  • Durability for high-mileage training could be a concern compared to daily trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear racing shoes. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly. It is recommended to wear them for a short run or two before a major competition to familiarize yourself with their feel and performance characteristics.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Primarily designed for asphalt and other hard, smooth running surfaces.
  • Runner Type: Best suited for runners with a neutral pronation.
  • Use Case: Optimized for competition and speed training.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After running, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
