FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The K-SWISS Selby trainers are best suited for light jogging or short runs. For intense or long-distance running, more specialized running shoes offering greater support and cushioning are recommended.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended, as it can affect the materials and comfort.
What is the primary material of the midsole?
The midsole is constructed from ultra-light molded EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), known for its cushioning properties.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to a standard UK men's shoe size chart. These trainers are designed to fit true to size, but slight variations can occur. Check the product listing for specific size guidance if available.
Can the insoles be replaced?
While the product description doesn't explicitly state if the insoles are removable, many athletic shoes allow for this. If they are removable, you can substitute them with custom orthotics or different insoles for added comfort or support.
What kind of workouts are these best for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday activities, travel, walking, and light workouts. They offer comfort for general fitness routines but may lack the stability for more demanding training.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet. The breathable upper may stretch slightly over time.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider using additional insoles or foot support if needed for longer durations.
Outer material appears dirty
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For fabric areas, a soft brush can help lift dirt. Ensure to test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
