Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For minor tightness, wearing thicker socks or using a shoe stretcher might help. For looseness, consider using insoles or opting for a half-size down if available.
Discomfort in the arch area.
The Stability Web provides midfoot support. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole that complements the existing support structure.
ABZORB cushioning feels less responsive over time.
While ABZORB is durable, its responsiveness may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and check for any deep compression marks on the sole.
Mesh material gets dirty easily.
Regular spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water using a soft brush will help maintain the appearance of the mesh. Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for footwear.
