Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the lacing system needs adjustment.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the PUMAGRIP outsole with water to remove any debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs
This could be due to ambient temperature or the intensity of the run. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow. The upper is designed for breathability, but extreme conditions may still lead to heat buildup.

Care:
