FAQs

How do I properly use the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?

Simply place your heel at the back of the shoe and slide your foot forward. The structured heel and Heel Pillow® will help guide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

These trainers are best suited for light to moderate running and walking due to their emphasis on comfort and convenient slip-in design. For high-intensity training or trail running, consider a shoe with a more secure, traditional lace-up fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand-washing the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest method for cleaning.

What is the M-Strike® technology?

M-Strike® technology is incorporated into the midsole design to help promote a smoother transition from the point of impact to toe-off, enhancing running efficiency and reducing fatigue.

How do I adjust the fit if the laces feel too loose or tight?

The laces can be adjusted in the same way as traditional shoelaces. Tighten or loosen them to achieve your desired comfort level, though the primary fit is secured by the slip-in design and Heel Pillow®.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of an engineered mesh material, which provides breathability and a flexible, comfortable fit.

How durable is the ULTRA LIGHT midsole?

The ULTRA LIGHT midsole offers good durability for its weight class, providing responsive cushioning for everyday use and moderate running. Longevity will depend on usage frequency and intensity.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels loose even with laces tied.

Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cradling your heel. Try adjusting the laces for a snugger fit, focusing on the eyelets closest to the ankle.

Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.

Gently slide your foot in, using the Heel Pillow® as a guide. Ensure your heel is fully back. If the shoe is new, it may require a few wears to break in.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended. For minor snags, carefully trim loose threads with scissors without cutting into the mesh.

Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.

While the ULTRA LIGHT cushioning is designed for durability, significant wear may occur after extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if the cushioning feels noticeably diminished.

Pros and Cons

  • Breathable upper material keeps feet cool.
  • Secure heel fit prevents unwanted movement.
  • Promotes efficient stride with M-Strike® technology.

Cons

  • Adjustable laces may require re-tightening during rigorous activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply wear them as you would any other shoe. The lacing is primarily for aesthetic or minor fit adjustments after slipping them on.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, specifically in UK size 9.5 for this variant. The trainers are best suited for running, walking, and casual athletic activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the engineered mesh upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be carefully removed, hand-washed with mild soap and water, and air-dried before re-lacing.
