What is the midsole drop?

Are these shoes suitable for racing?
While they can support runners preparing for races, they are primarily designed as training shoes. For competitive racing, you might consider shoes with more specialized features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring the midfoot and forefoot areas are not constricted. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot length and width.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. The outsole is designed for grip, but performance can be reduced if it's caked with dirt. Check for wear on the outsole tread.
Upper material feels abrasive
Break in the shoes by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure socks are worn to prevent direct skin contact with potentially new materials. Check for any internal stitching that might be causing irritation.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoes naturally lose some cushioning with mileage. Consider the total mileage on the shoes; if they have exceeded 300-500 miles, it may be time for replacement. Ensure the LIGHTMOTION midsole has not been exposed to extreme temperatures.
