FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Dropset 4 trainers are primarily designed for functional strength training, weightlifting, and cross-training. While they can handle shorter runs as part of a training routine, they are not optimized for the cushioning and support required for long-distance marathon running.
How do I clean the textile upper?
The textile upper can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What makes the outsole special?
The outsole features a combination of Continental™ rubber for reliable, all-conditions traction and Adiwear rubber for enhanced durability, ensuring the shoe holds up under demanding training.
Can these shoes be used for gym classes?
Yes, their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of gym classes that involve varied movements, including cardio, strength training, and agility drills.
What is the benefit of the REPETITOR midsole?
The REPETITOR midsole is engineered to provide a consistent level of energy return and stability, supporting both explosive movements and providing a durable feel during training sessions.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor or material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size is needed, especially if your foot size varies.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
Discomfort during lateral movements
Ensure the laces are secured evenly, particularly across the midfoot, to provide adequate support. The Geofit heel should also be snug but not constricting.
