Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then tie them to a comfortable, secure fit. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if a wider fit option is needed (if available).

Slight discomfort on first few runs

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase distance as they adapt to your foot.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for durability and performance on dry to moderately wet surfaces. Exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery conditions.
