FAQs
Is the SuperComp Elite v6 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, it is explicitly designed for race-day performance, including marathon distances.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
These trainers fit true to size, but the mesh upper provides a glove-like fit, so ensure you have a thumbnail's width of space at the toes.
Can I use these for trail running?
It is not recommended, as the shoe is optimized for smooth, hard surfaces and the translucent mesh is not built for trail hazards.
How long will the foam stay responsive?
While durability depends on running style, the Infinion foam is engineered for high performance throughout the life of the shoe, typically lasting through a standard racing season.
Does the carbon plate require a specific running style?
The plate is designed to complement natural stride mechanics, though it is most effective for runners who strike mid-foot to forefoot.
Troubleshooting
Feelings of heel slippage
Utilize the runner's loop (lace lock) method with the top eyelets to secure the heel more firmly.
Difficulty cleaning the mesh upper
Use a soft brush and mild soap to gently lift debris from the mesh pores; do not submerge the shoes.
Unusual discomfort during first run
Ensure the shoe is fully broken in with a few shorter, faster runs before using it for a primary competition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are precision racing shoes, proper fit is essential. Ensure you select the correct size, as the mesh upper is designed to hug the foot closely. To maintain the integrity of the carbon plate and foam, avoid washing these shoes in a machine or using harsh chemical cleaners. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. Always inspect the outsole for excessive wear before a major race, and rotate them with daily trainers to extend the lifespan of the proprietary foam.
