Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and support for walking and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running shoes.
How do I ensure the best fit with the adjustable laces?
Loosen the laces before slipping your foot in. Once on, adjust the lace tension to your preference for a snug but comfortable fit. You can tie them or tuck the laces if preferred.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed to be breathable and comfortable against the skin, making them suitable for sockless wear.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put the shoes on and take them off without using your hands, thanks to a specially designed heel structure and collar.
How often should I wash my trainers?
Wash them as needed, typically when they appear dirty or after significant use. Follow the machine washing instructions carefully to maintain their condition.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The monomesh upper offers some flexibility, and the adjustable laces allow for a customizable fit. However, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug, and trying them on is recommended if possible.
What is the main advantage of the Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology is designed to create a smoother transition from heel to toe with each step, promoting a more efficient and comfortable walking motion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight after slipping them on.
Adjust the tension of the laces. Loosen them for an easier fit or tighten for a more secure feel. Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is positioned correctly around your ankle.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.
Ensure the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is clean and free from debris. If necessary, remove and hand wash the insole with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces.
While the Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers good grip, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris that could impede traction.
Difficulty slipping the shoes on initially.
Gently pull the heel tab upwards and loosen the laces slightly. Ensure your foot is entering the shoe at a natural angle. The material will soften and become more pliable with use.
