Are these shoes effective for marathons?
Yes, their high-rebound cushioning and energy return make them an excellent choice for long-distance training and marathon racing.
How long should these trainers last?

What is the primary benefit of the Superblast 3 compared to other trainers?
The main benefit is the unique combination of a maximalist foam stack with an exceptionally lightweight feel, providing comfort without the bulk.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel instability
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock in the heel cup.
Upper mesh collecting excessive dust or grime
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft, damp microfiber cloth after runs to prevent particles from embedding in the fibers.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every few runs.
- Washing: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water; never submerge in a washing machine or use high-heat dryers as this can damage the foam properties.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent upper material degradation.
- Rotation: Allow the midsole foam 24 hours to recover its shape between heavy usage sessions.
