FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for all-day comfort and light activities. For marathon running, specialized shoes with advanced performance features and specific support are recommended.
How do I ensure I get the right size, given the sizing variation note?
It is best to try the trainers on indoors before purchasing if possible. If ordering online, refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for the Cloudfoam series and be aware that the packaging might display international sizing.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the Cloudfoam midsole and mesh upper. Hand clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
What is the main benefit of the Cloudfoam technology?
Cloudfoam technology provides superior cushioning, a soft feel, and lightweight comfort, significantly enhancing the overall comfort of the trainers for daily wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions and are not ideal for heavy rain or wet environments.
What does 'Wide Fit' mean for these trainers?
The 'Wide Fit' indicates that the shoe is constructed with a broader base and more room in the forefoot and toe box compared to standard-fit trainers, offering enhanced comfort for individuals with wider feet.
What is the approximate weight of these trainers?
These trainers weigh approximately 605g, contributing to their lightweight feel and making them comfortable for extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect.
Try the trainers on indoors before wearing them outside. Note that the box or label may show US/Euro sizing, which can differ from the UK size. If still incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The Cloudfoam cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure you are following care instructions to maintain material integrity.
Discomfort in the arch area.
While designed with arch support, individual foot shapes vary. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider using aftermarket insoles compatible with the trainer's shape.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For minor snags, a stitch can sometimes reinforce the area, but avoid pulling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you try them on to confirm the fit before use, as the sizing on the box or label might differ from the UK size indicated.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, particularly for individuals with wider foot shapes. They are designed for general athletic and casual use, not for highly specialized sports requiring rigid support.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper gently with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For the midsole and outsole, use a soft brush or a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve their shape and material integrity.
