FAQs
Is the Superblast 2 suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, while primarily a trainer, its elite cushioning makes it an excellent option for long-distance racing for those who prefer more protection.
How long should the cushioning last?
The midsole foam is durable, but typical lifespan for performance trainers is between 300 to 500 miles depending on usage and gait.
Does this shoe feature a carbon plate?
No, the Superblast 2 relies on foam geometry and proprietary cushioning materials rather than a rigid plate for energy return.
Can I use these on gravel trails?
The AHARPLUS outsole is designed primarily for asphalt and pavement; it may pick up small rocks on loose gravel surfaces.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance, so they will absorb water in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Utilize the 'runner's loop' lacing technique through the extra eyelet to secure the heel.
Upper mesh collecting dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after runs to prevent clogging the mesh pores.
Feeling of arch pressure
Loosen the lacing over the midfoot area or try a different lacing pattern to accommodate your specific foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, verify your fit using the standard UK sizing provided. Because of the gusseted tongue and engineered mesh, you may find the shoe fits true to size, though it is recommended to wear them with your preferred running socks to gauge width. For care, keep the shoes away from high-heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and fill the interior with crumpled paper to absorb moisture naturally. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed; never machine wash your running shoes.
