Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, use a runner's loop. For a looser fit, ensure laces are not overtightened over the midfoot.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant loss of comfort and support.
Soles showing premature wear
Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces. Avoid excessive wear on harsh terrains like gravel or concrete that is not designated for running. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the outsole that might cause uneven wear.
