Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning responsiveness

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. For persistent issues, check for debris trapped in the outsole or midsole that might affect performance.

Discomfort or hot spots

Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking and properly fitted. Consider alternative lacing techniques to alleviate pressure points.

Squeaking noises

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try wearing different socks or ensuring the shoes are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder in the shoe might help.
