FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof, but the Continental Rubber outsole provides excellent traction on damp surfaces.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, the stable nature of the 4D midsole makes them suitable for general gym use and cross-training.
How do I choose the right size?
The AlphaEdge 4D runs true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or use orthotics, consider sizing up by a half size.
How do I clean the white midsole?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to gently scrub the lattice structure.
Are these suitable for long-distance marathons?
While capable of long distances, they are specifically tuned for energy return and urban training, making them best for runs up to 10-15 kilometers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
The 4D lattice is engineered for durability and stability. Wear the shoes for short 20-minute sessions over the first week to allow the structure to adapt to your stride.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
The Primeknit is designed for a snug, lockdown fit. Ensure the dynamic lacing is fully loosened and use the tongue pull to guide your foot comfortably.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your AlphaEdge 4D trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. The Primeknit upper can be maintained by gently brushing away surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the synthetic fibers. Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can warp the 4D lattice structure. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before your first run to allow the Primeknit to naturally contour to your foot shape over time.
