FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

This specific model features a 2E width designation, which is designed to provide extra room for wider feet.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are fully removable, making these trainers compatible with custom orthotic inserts.

Are these machine washable?

We recommend hand cleaning only. Machine washing may damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the Fresh Foam midsole.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality, breathable polyester mesh.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they are versatile, they are optimized for road and gym surfaces. They may lack the aggressive tread required for technical trail terrain.

How do I determine if the size is correct?

You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.

Troubleshooting

Insole slipping or moving inside the shoe

Ensure the insole is properly seated in the heel cup. If using a custom orthotic, ensure it is the correct size for the shoe's width.

Difficulty keeping the mesh clean

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning spray or a gentle mixture of water and light soap with a soft sponge after each muddy run.

Midsole feels less cushioned over time

Check if the shoe has been over-compressed by leaving it in a hot environment. Allow the shoe to rest for 24-48 hours to regain shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior underfoot cushioning for reduced joint impact
  • Excellent breathability due to mesh upper construction
  • Orthotic-friendly design with removable insoles
  • Lightweight feel minimizes foot fatigue
  • Stable build suitable for daily fitness routines

Cons

  • Polyester mesh may show wear faster than leather alternatives
  • Best suited for road running rather than aggressive trail hiking
  • Limited water resistance due to the breathable nature of the fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Fresh Foam trainers provide the longest possible service life, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Orthotic Compatibility: Carefully lift the stock insole from the heel area. Replace it with your custom orthotic, ensuring it lies flat against the shoe base.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dust from the polyester mesh. For deeper stains, hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid submerging the shoes in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
  3. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
  4. Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating between two pairs to allow the Fresh Foam to decompress and return to its original shape between uses.
