FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the cushioning foam.
Is this model suitable for high-impact sports?
These are primarily designed as road running and casual trainers; for specialized high-impact sports, a stability-focused shoe may be more appropriate.
Do I need to break these in?
The Fresh Foam technology offers a comfortable feel out of the box, but a short walk or light run is recommended to ensure they conform to your specific foot shape.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The v9 is designed to be lightweight, though exact weights vary by size.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the 'runner's loop' method to secure the heel lock.
Material showing signs of wear
Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose; avoid abrasive surfaces or heavy debris paths.
Shoe feels tight after long walks
Feet naturally swell during the day; ensure you are trying on shoes in the afternoon when feet are at their largest.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, proper care is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure the fit is snug but not constricting, particularly around the toe box.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes near heaters or in a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Rotation: If you use these for daily running, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress and the materials to breathe.
