FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The Galaxy 7 is designed for endurance building and 5K distances. While durable, marathon runners may prefer models with more specialized energy-return systems.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they provide sufficient support for treadmill running and general gym activities, though they are optimized for forward motion rather than lateral agility.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during a run.
Are they waterproof?
No, the textile upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, or consider an aftermarket insole for specific arch support.
Slipping inside the shoe during runs
Use the extra eyelets at the top of the shoe to create a heel lock lacing pattern to secure your ankle.
Outer sole traction feels reduced
Check the outsole for debris or small stones lodged in the tread; clean with a brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Galaxy 7 trainers last throughout your training block, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter 2-3 mile walks or jogs before attempting long-distance runs to allow the textile to mold to your foot.
- Lacing Technique: Use the top eyelets for a 'runner's loop' if you experience heel slippage during faster paces.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the textile from fading and the rubber from drying out.
