Troubleshooting
Slightly stiff on first wear
This is normal for high-performance shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to break them in. Ensure proper lacing to allow foot flexibility.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean, especially the midsole and outsole. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or moisture which can degrade materials. Inspect for any visible damage to the carbon plate area.
Discomfort in the arch area
The carbon fiber plate provides a unique feel. If discomfort persists, consider using alternative insoles or consulting a running specialist to assess foot strike and shoe fit.
