Full details

Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and fit. Consider wearing them for shorter distances initially to break them in. Check sock choice for potential friction points.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally degrade with high mileage. Monitor the shoe's performance and consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles, or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Upper feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to customize the fit. If persistently too tight or loose, the shoe may not be the correct size or width.

Care:
