FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for orthotics?

Yes, the Fresh Foam trainers feature removable insoles, making them highly compatible with most standard medical orthotics.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and bonding agents; manual cleaning is preferred.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable engineered polyester mesh.

Can I use these for trail running?

While durable, these are optimized for road and treadmill surfaces; they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical or muddy trail terrain.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

This model is designed for a standard adult fit. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Insole sliding or moving

Ensure the insole is pressed firmly into the heel cup area; if using orthotics, make sure they are sized correctly for the UK 6.5 footprint.

Accumulated dirt in mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh pores; do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs.

Foot discomfort during long runs

Verify that your lacing tension is not too tight across the midfoot and ensure your socks provide adequate moisture-wicking properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and responsive cushioning
  • High breathability from engineered mesh
  • Orthotic-friendly with removable insoles
  • Lightweight feel minimizes fatigue

Cons

  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Polyester upper may not be as water-resistant as leather models
  • Limited support for those needing significant motion control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, remove the factory-installed insoles if you plan to use personal orthotic inserts to ensure a proper fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor use. Do not submerge in water.
  • Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the Fresh Foam midsole.
  • Rotation: Allow the foam to recover for 24 hours between heavy usage sessions to extend the lifespan of the cushioning.
