FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

They are designed for daily runs and activities, but individual suitability for long-distance training depends on your specific gait and arch support needs.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and replaceable with custom orthotics.

Are these machine washable?

It is recommended to clean them by hand to preserve the structural integrity of the Fresh Foam midsole and the upper mesh.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from breathable engineered polyester mesh.

How heavy are the shoes?

These trainers weigh 271.7 grams per shoe.

Troubleshooting

Insole slipping during movement

Ensure the insole is properly aligned within the heel cup and that the base of the shoe is clean of debris.

Mesh becoming stiff after cleaning

Avoid using harsh detergents; use only water and a soft cloth to gently work out residue.

Difficulty finding comfortable fit with orthotics

Ensure the factory insole has been completely removed before inserting your custom orthotic to prevent overcrowding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly breathable upper material
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot strain
  • Compatible with custom orthotic insoles
  • Responsive cushioning for impact protection

Cons

  • Not specifically designed for trail running
  • Polyester upper may require regular cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Neutral platform may not suit extreme overpronators

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against the product specifications before first use. If you require specialized arch support, remove the standard factory insole and replace it with your custom orthotic. For routine maintenance, wipe the polyester mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and adhesive bonds. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material deformation.
