FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

How durable is the EVA midsole?

EVA midsoles provide good cushioning for their weight. For regular use in running, they typically offer reliable performance for several hundred miles before significant compression occurs.

What is the weight of these shoes?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the mesh upper needs time to stretch slightly with wear.

Feet feel hot or sweaty

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The mesh upper is breathable, but proper sock choice enhances ventilation. Allow shoes to air dry completely between wears.

Slight discomfort during runs

Ensure proper lacing technique. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris. Consider if the shoe's cushioning level is adequate for your running intensity and duration.

Dirt accumulation on the sole

Use a brush to clean the outsole after use. For embedded dirt, a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water can be effective.
