The midsole drop is 6mm (16mm in the heel and 10mm in the forefoot).
How do I ensure a secure fit with the Geofit technology?

Can I use these shoes for HIIT workouts?

What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 308 grams.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them looser initially and gradually tighten as you break them in. The Footadapt sockliner may also require a short break-in period.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole of any dirt, dust, or debris that may be lodged in the tread patterns. Ensure the gym floor is clean and dry.
Heel slipping during movement
Adjust the lacing to ensure a secure lockdown around the ankle and heel. Make sure the Geofit technology is properly engaging by tying the laces firmly.
Upper material feels stiff
The haptic print upper is designed for durability and may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dropset 4 Training Shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have your correct size for optimal performance and comfort. Lace them up securely, adjusting the tightness for a snug fit, particularly around the ankle and midfoot, without restricting circulation.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for indoor training activities such as weightlifting, functional fitness, CrossFit, and gym workouts. They are compatible with various gym surfaces including rubber flooring and traditional gym floors. They are not specifically designed for outdoor running or specialized sports like basketball or soccer.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Dropset 4 shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
