FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some flexibility, but these trainers are designed with a standard fit. For wider feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult customer reviews regarding fit.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping when you walk.
Can I use these for hiking?
The SKX Grip outsole provides good traction for light trails or uneven surfaces. However, they are primarily designed as running trainers and may lack the ankle support and ruggedness of dedicated hiking boots.
How often should I wash my trainers?
Wash them as needed when they appear dirty or after particularly strenuous activities. Over-washing can potentially degrade materials faster, so clean them when necessary.
What does 'vegan friendly' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and individual gait. For regular runners, cushioning may start to diminish after 300-500 miles.
Can these trainers be worn with orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or other supportive inserts if needed.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The insole may be compressed. Ensure the trainers are dry and allow them to air out. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole.
Poor traction during activity
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. The SKX Grip is designed for optimal performance on dry to moderately wet surfaces.
Feet feeling warm during wear
While the engineered mesh is breathable, intense activity in very hot conditions can still lead to warmth. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Check if the fit is too tight, which can restrict airflow.
