Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or narrow
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. If the issue persists, consider alternative models designed for wider feet or breaking them in gradually with shorter wear times.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The BOOST cushioning is designed for longevity, but its feel can be affected by heavy use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. For significantly diminished responsiveness, it may be time to consider replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The Adiwear outsole offers good traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions, as with any footwear.
