FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Storm 96 2K trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. While they offer cushioning and support, they are not engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specific features and durability required for intense training.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh for breathability and synthetic leather for durability and structure. There are also genuine leather elements as indicated by the product details.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Consult a reputable shoe size chart online or visit a shoe store for professional measurement. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides grip, the mesh and leather upper are not waterproof. They are best worn in dry or moderately wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
What does the TPU plate do?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) plate and inserts in the midsole are designed to provide enhanced support and stability to your foot, particularly around the midfoot area, improving overall comfort and preventing excessive flex.
How should I clean the signature crocodile logo?
The logo can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the logo's finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Soles are slippery
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The textured rubber outsole provides grip, but excessive dirt or wear can reduce its effectiveness. For significantly worn soles, consider replacement if possible or avoid slippery surfaces.
Leather components look dry or cracked
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for footwear. Ensure the product is suitable for the type of leather used and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh material shows dirt easily
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Use a soft brush for targeted cleaning. Regular spot cleaning is recommended to prevent deep-set stains.
