FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking, casual wear, and light activities. They offer good support and cushioning for these purposes but may not provide the specialized features or impact protection required for serious running.
How do I know if the Arch Fit insole is right for my foot?
The Arch Fit insole provides podiatrist-certified arch support. While beneficial for many, it offers a specific type of support. If you have very flat feet or very high arches, you might need to consult with a foot care professional to determine if this system is ideal for your needs, or if using the removable insole with your own orthotics is a better option.
Can I replace the Arch Fit insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Arch Fit insole is designed to be removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles if needed.
How do I clean the red color to prevent fading?
To maintain the color, clean the trainers using a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods, which can cause fading. Always air dry.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
These trainers are generally designed for a standard width fit. If you have wider feet, ensure you lace them securely and consider wearing them with slightly thicker socks. For significant width needs, it's always best to try them on if possible.
What does '100% vegan materials' mean for durability?
The use of 100% vegan materials means no animal products were used in the construction. These materials are engineered to be durable and perform comparably to traditional shoe materials, offering good longevity with proper care.
How does the flexible traction outsole perform in different conditions?
The flexible traction outsole is designed to provide reliable grip on most common surfaces encountered during walking and casual activities. While it offers good performance, it may not be optimized for extremely slippery or challenging terrain.
Troubleshooting
Arch support feels too firm initially
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The insole is designed to mold to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially or consult with a podiatrist regarding arch support needs.
Shoes feel slightly loose despite lacing
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tightened evenly. If the shoe is too wide, consider using a thicker sock or exploring lacing techniques that reduce volume.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction but may be less effective on very wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect grip.
Vegan materials showing wear
For minor scuffs, use a clean damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized vegan shoe cleaner can be used following product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
