FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Abzorb and N-ergy technologies?

These technologies work together to provide superior shock absorption, cushioning, and energy return, leading to enhanced comfort and reduced foot fatigue during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While the 1906 Utility offers good cushioning and support, they are primarily designed for daily wear, comfort, and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with specific performance features might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the trainers if they get very dirty?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly on the mesh and synthetic parts. Always air dry and avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

What does 'Standard (D) width' mean?

Standard (D) width refers to the typical width for men's footwear. If you have particularly wide or narrow feet, you may need to consider trying them on or looking for models available in specific width options.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

Yes, the product description indicates unisex availability for some variants, making them suitable for women as well. Ensure you select the appropriate size based on women's sizing if available.

What is the purpose of the TPU heel cage?

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel cage is designed to provide structural support and a secure lockdown for the heel, enhancing stability and preventing slippage.

How much do the trainers weigh?

The trainers weigh approximately 352.2 grams (12.4 ounces) per shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size and width. If they are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with different types of socks.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

The cushioning materials may have compressed with use. Check for any visible wear and tear on the midsole and outsole. Consider replacing the shoes if performance has significantly degraded.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
