FAQs
What makes the 4DFWD midsole unique?
The 4DFWD midsole features an innovative angled mesh structure designed to compress forward, providing targeted cushioning and supporting a smoother, more efficient forward stride.
How do I determine the best size for me?
Measure your foot length from the heel to the longest toe. If your measurement falls between two standard sizes, it's generally recommended to choose the larger size for running shoes to ensure comfort and prevent blisters.
Is the PRIMEKNIT upper durable?
The PRIMEKNIT upper is designed for a comfortable, sock-like fit and breathability. While generally durable for its intended use, it's important to follow care instructions to maintain its integrity.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and general athletic use. The outsole provides good grip on paved surfaces but may not offer sufficient traction or protection for technical trails.
How should I clean my Ultra 4DFWD trainers?
Clean the shoes using a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the angled midsole design?
The primary benefit is to reduce the braking forces that occur when your foot lands and to redirect the impact energy into forward motion, aiming to provide a smoother running experience.
Troubleshooting
Uncertainty about correct shoe size
Measure your foot length accurately from heel to toe. Refer to the sizing guide and consider trying the larger size if you are between sizes, especially for running.
Slightly stiff feel on first wear
The PRIMEKNIT upper and 4DFWD midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short walks or runs initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Reduced grip on very wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for grip, extremely slick wet surfaces can challenge any shoe. Exercise caution and reduce speed in such conditions.
