Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Consider trying a half-size up if the issue persists across multiple runs.

Slipping sensation during runs

Ensure the lacing system is fully utilized and tightened appropriately. Check that the socks worn are suitable for running and provide good grip.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

This is often normal wear. Regularly clean the shoes as per care instructions. If performance degradation is significant, it may be time to consider replacement after extensive use.

Discomfort on the arch

The carbon fiber plate provides a firm platform. If you are not accustomed to this type of shoe, gradually increase mileage. Consult a running specialist if discomfort persists.
