FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers some flexibility, but these trainers are generally designed for a standard fit. If you have very wide feet, trying them on in person or checking reviews specific to wide-foot wearers is recommended.
What is the main benefit of the Boost midsole?
The Boost midsole provides exceptional energy return and responsive cushioning, reducing impact and helping you feel lighter on your feet.
How does the space-testing influence the shoe?
The collaboration with NASA and testing in space signifies a commitment to innovative materials and performance under extreme conditions, translating into a durable and high-performing shoe.
Can I wear these trainers for professional athletic competitions?
While designed for performance, they are best suited for running, training, and everyday wear. For specific professional competitions, consulting with a sports expert about specialized footwear might be beneficial.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of Primeknit, a flexible, breathable, and form-fitting material that provides a sock-like feel.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart and consider your usual UK shoe size. The Primeknit upper offers some adaptability, but checking measurements is advised.
What is the difference between this and other UltraBoost models?
This specific model features a unique 'Blue Boost' iridescent midsole and a design collaboration with NASA's ISS US National Lab, distinguishing it from standard UltraBoost releases through its aesthetic and thematic inspiration.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The Primeknit upper is designed to be snug. Wear them for short periods to allow them to adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure laces are not overly tightened.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Boost cushioning is durable but can be affected by extreme dirt or debris. Ensure the sole is clean. Over time, the material may naturally compress slightly with extensive use.
Discoloration on the Boost midsole
The iridescent blue Boost midsole can be susceptible to scuffs or color transfer from dark materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with dark, wet clothing.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is free of debris.
