FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Kawana 3 is optimized for daily training and gym use; while capable of road cardio, maximalist models like the Bondi may be better for very long distance.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and glue. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while standing.

Does the mesh upper stretch over time?

While technical mesh is designed to hold its shape, it will naturally conform slightly to your foot shape after the first few wears.

Is this shoe good for lifting weights?

The stable platform makes it suitable for general gym work, though specialized weightlifting shoes are recommended for heavy barbell squats.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage during exercise

Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique with the top eyelets to secure the ankle.

Accumulation of debris in outsole

Use a specialized shoe brush or a dull plastic pick to gently remove grit or stones from the rubber stud gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction due to the streamlined heel design
  • Excellent breathability from the zoned mesh upper
  • Easy to slip on and off with the integrated heel-pull
  • Durable rubber studs in high-impact zones
  • Versatile performance for various cardio-based workouts

Cons

  • Firm cushioning profile may not suit those seeking maximum plushness
  • Limited to road and gym surfaces rather than technical trails
  • Fit may vary significantly if wearing thick performance socks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Kawana 3 trainers, ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preferred tension before the first use. The fit should feel secure in the midfoot with enough room in the toe box for natural splay. Compatibility with custom orthotics is possible due to the removable sockliner. For care, keep the shoes away from high-heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the EVA foam. To clean, remove loose debris with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap; air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
