FAQs

What makes the Boost midsole special?

The Boost midsole uses thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) pellets that expand to create a unique cushioning structure. It provides excellent energy return and shock absorption, making it feel responsive and comfortable.

Is the Primeblue material good for the environment?

Yes, Primeblue is an eco-friendly material made with at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, which is reclaimed plastic waste collected from beaches and coastal communities before it can enter the ocean. The rest is recycled polyester.

Can I wear these for long-distance running?

The UltraBoost 4.0 DNA is designed with superior cushioning and energy return, making it suitable for many runners, including those doing long distances. However, for competitive or high-mileage training, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trainers should fit snugly, like a sock, without excessive pressure points. Your heel should feel secure, and your toes should have enough room to wiggle slightly. Consider the length and width of your foot when determining the best fit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Primeknit upper is breathable and designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the difference between 'Ultraboost 4.0 DNA' and other UltraBoost models?

The 'DNA' designation typically signifies a lifestyle-oriented version of the original performance running shoe, often featuring updated designs or materials while retaining the core Boost technology and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. The Primeknit upper will stretch slightly with wear, but if the fit is consistently too tight, consider a half-size larger for future purchases.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both it and the inside of the shoe are completely dry before reinserting.

Yellowing of the Boost midsole

Over time and with exposure to UV light, the Boost material can naturally yellow. This is cosmetic and does not affect performance. Regular cleaning can help slow this process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, suitable for a UK size 4.5. Compatible with most athletic and casual attire. Not intended for specialized sports requiring specific footwear support (e.g., basketball, hiking).

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Primeknit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing. For stubborn stains, a soft brush may be used cautiously.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe the Boost midsole and rubber outsole clean. For deeper cleaning of the outsole, a soft brush can be used.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
