FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for daily running and mid-distance training (6k to 12k) for runners with a neutral gait.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
They provide neutral support, which is ideal for those who do not require specific pronation control. The Torsion System offers stability from heel to toe.
How do I clean the beige leather and mesh upper?
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution. Air dry completely away from heat.
Is the cushioning firm or soft?
The Light BOOST V2 midsole provides a balance of soft cushioning for impact absorption and responsive energy return for a lively feel.
What is the benefit of the Continental rubber outsole?
It offers superior grip and durability, providing reliable traction on various surfaces, including wet conditions, similar to the grip found on high-performance tires.
Can I use these for racing?
While they offer good performance, they are optimized for daily training and comfort over longer distances rather than the lightweight, minimalist design of dedicated racing flats.
What does 'neutral support' mean?
Neutral support means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate) during their stride. It offers balanced cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie them ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. You may also need to ensure you have selected the correct size.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Continental rubber offers good grip, extremely wet or oily surfaces can still be slick. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Discomfort in the heel
Ensure the laces are properly tied to utilize the heel counter. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Material appears stiff or dry
Gently clean the shoe and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear, following product instructions. Allow to dry naturally.
