FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning and support, they may not provide the specific features and stability required for serious or high-impact running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What does 'Heeluxe Tested' mean?
'Heeluxe Tested' signifies that the footwear has undergone rigorous testing by Heeluxe, an independent expert in footwear comfort and performance, using technology that simulates real-world wear to validate the shoe's comfort and effectiveness.
How effective is the water repellent feature?
The trainers are treated with a water-repellent coating that helps repel water on contact, making them suitable for light rain or splashes. This treatment may diminish over time with heavy use and can be reapplied.
What is the main benefit of the nitrogen-infused midsole?
The nitrogen-infused midsole is Vionic's lightest yet, offering a high level of rebound. This enhances your walking motion by providing more energy return with each step, contributing to a more comfortable and less fatiguing walk.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method for care.
What is the expected lifespan of the water repellent coating?
The lifespan of the water repellent coating can vary depending on usage frequency and environmental exposure. It is advisable to reapply a suitable water-repellent spray periodically to maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Reduced water repellency over time
The water-repellent coating may naturally wear off. Reapply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray according to the product's instructions to restore protection.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might be hindering grip.
Mesh upper feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is clean. Gentle cleaning with mild soap and water can help open up the mesh fibers. Avoid packing the shoes too tightly with insoles or inserts.
