FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The Fresh Foam 680 v8 offers good cushioning for everyday comfort and light jogs. However, for dedicated long-distance or high-mileage running, specialized running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning technologies are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam cushioning?

The Fresh Foam cushioning is designed to provide a soft, lightweight, and responsive feel, offering a comfortable experience for walking and standing throughout the day.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort, which means they offer limited protection against water.

What type of activities are these trainers best for?

They are ideal for everyday wear, walking, errands, and light gym activities. Their versatility makes them a good choice for general active lifestyles.

How often should I replace my trainers?

For optimal performance and comfort, trainers typically need replacing every 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice significant wear on the cushioning or outsole, or a loss of support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them more gently. If discomfort persists, consider a different size or model.

Cushioning feels insufficient

The Fresh Foam is designed for balanced cushioning. For enhanced cushioning, consider adding aftermarket insoles, particularly if engaging in activities beyond daily wear.

Traction is poor on wet surfaces

The outsole provides general traction. Be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces, as these trainers are not designed for extreme conditions. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.

Upper material shows wear quickly

Inspect for areas of excessive friction or abrasion. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (daily wear, light activity) and not for tasks that could damage the material.
