Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try lacing them with a different pattern to relieve pressure points. Note that racing shoes often have a snug fit.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The foam and plate are designed for peak performance. Heavy daily mileage may reduce their effectiveness faster. Use for racing and speedwork primarily. Ensure they are clean and dry after each use.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While PUMAGRIP offers good traction, extremely wet or oily conditions can still reduce grip. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that might affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear racing shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug, performance fit. Lace them up securely to maximize the benefits of the PWRPLATE and secure your foot within the ULTRAWEAVE upper.
Compatibility: Designed for neutral runners on road surfaces. They are compatible with most running socks. Not designed for trail running or individuals requiring significant stability support.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
