Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during runs.
Ensure laces are tied securely and evenly across the foot. A wider carbon plate enhances stability, but proper lacing is crucial for individual fit. Review your running form to ensure you are engaging the shoe's features effectively.
Experiencing hot spots or discomfort in the forefoot.
Check your sock choice for proper fit and material. The Atomknit upper provides containment, so ensure it's not overly tight. Adjusting lace tension can also alleviate pressure. The double Air Zoom units are designed for comfort, but personal fit is key.
Shoe feels less responsive over time.
This is often a sign of expected wear and tear for high-performance shoes. Ensure the rubber outsole is free from excessive debris. While designed for durability, the responsiveness of race-specific foam and carbon plates can diminish with extensive mileage.
