FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Carbon Progression Plate?
The Carbon Progression Plate is designed to enhance energy return during the running gait, providing a propulsive feel and improving efficiency. It also contributes significantly to the shoe's stability during dynamic movements.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, the advanced design and specialized materials are optimized for performance running and hybrid training. For everyday casual wear, you might find other footwear more suited to that purpose.
How do I clean the upper material?
Use a soft brush or a cloth lightly dampened with cool water to clean the upper. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
What is the rebound rate of the Supercritical 247 Foam?
The Supercritical 247 Foam offers a 65% rebound rate, providing a responsive and energetic feel with each step.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for performance, which means they are not intended to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
What does 'hybrid training' mean in relation to these shoes?
Hybrid training refers to a mix of activities, such as running combined with strength training, plyometrics, or agility drills. The ARC-4 is engineered to excel in both the running aspect and provide the necessary stability for other functional movements.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the 3mm foam insole is removable and can be replaced with a preferred aftermarket insole if desired, though the original is designed for comfort and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too firm initially
This is normal due to the carbon plate and dense foam. Wear the shoes for several shorter sessions to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot's natural mechanics.
Reduced energy return over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris, particularly around the midsole and outsole. Check for any signs of excessive wear on the outsole, which might indicate the shoes have reached the end of their performance lifespan.
Discomfort during lateral movements
Confirm you are wearing the correct size and that the laces are adequately tightened to secure the foot. The reinforced TPU overlays are designed for stability, but a secure fit is paramount.
Insole feels slippery
Ensure the insole is correctly seated within the shoe. If the issue persists, the recycled mesh cover might be damp. Allow the insole to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit and performance. It is recommended to wear them for a short period initially to allow your feet to adapt to the unique geometry and cushioning system.
Compatibility:
The 247 ARC-4 Elite Race Trainers are designed for a wide range of athletic activities, primarily running and hybrid training. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For optimal performance, avoid pairing them with overly thick or non-breathable socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with cool water to clean the upper and midsole. 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.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear. Check the carbon plate for any visible damage (though this is rare under normal use).
- Insole Care: The perforated insole can be removed for separate cleaning or airing out if needed.
