Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. While designed for road traction, extreme wet conditions may still require cautious running. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly after wet use.
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in before very long distances. Verify the fit and lacing. If discomfort is persistent, consult a running specialist to check your gait and shoe suitability.
Shoe material appears worn quickly
Inspect for excessive wear patterns that might indicate an incorrect stride or shoe-surface mismatch. Ensure the shoes are used primarily on their intended surfaces (roads).
