FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Shox Ride 2's cushioning?

The primary benefit is the responsive cushioning provided by the four Shox columns in the heel, which offers excellent shock absorption and support.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

While they offer good cushioning for general wear and light activities, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-impact or specialized athletic training.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Gently wipe the mesh with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the material.

What is the design inspiration for the Shox Ride 2?

The design is inspired by the audacious aesthetic of the early 2000s, featuring a layered construction and bold lines.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, structure, and cushioning system of the trainers.

What does 'Pencil Point/Black-Anthracite-Fire Red' refer to?

This refers to the colorway of the trainers, indicating the specific shades of black, grey (anthracite), and red used in the design.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Loosen the laces and wear them with appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger if available.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

The Shox cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Dirt trapped in Shox columns

Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently dislodge any trapped dirt or debris from the cushioning columns.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners and allow to air dry away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The sizing is based on standard UK men's foot sizes. They are designed for casual wear and light activities; compatibility for specific sports would depend on individual needs and performance requirements.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on the mesh.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the Shox columns and rubber outsole. Ensure no debris is stuck in the cushioning columns.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
