Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity but can compress with extensive use. For daily wear, this should take a significant amount of time. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the materials and structure.
