Troubleshooting
Inconsistent grip on the track
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from mud or debris. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Foot feels unstable during run-up
Adjust the cross-strap for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the laces are also adequately tightened.
Discomfort after jumping
Verify the shoe size is correct. The shoe should feel snug but not tight. Consider if the shoe is broken in sufficiently for your foot shape.
Straps feel too tight or too loose
Experiment with different tension levels on the adjustable cross-strap to find the optimal balance between security and comfort for your specific foot anatomy.
