FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

These trainers are primarily designed for road running and offer excellent protection in wet conditions. They are also suitable for light trail running. For extremely technical terrain or very hot weather, other specialized shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are typically at their largest, can help ensure a good fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the GORE-TEX membrane, adhesives, and other materials. Hand wash gently as described in the care instructions.

What is the benefit of the React X foam?

React X foam provides a soft, responsive, and cushioned ride, offering excellent energy return and shock absorption to enhance comfort during long runs and reduce fatigue.

How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?

The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. With proper care, the waterproof and breathable properties should last for the effective lifespan of the shoe.

Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?

This specific model is the 'Black Volt' colorway in a UK 11.5 size for women. Other colorways and sizes may be available through different product listings or retailers.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel clammy or overly warm.

This can sometimes occur with waterproof footwear due to reduced breathability. Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the issue persists, consider using them only in genuinely wet conditions where the waterproofing is essential.

Water seeping into the shoe.

Double-check that all laces are tied securely and that the tongue is properly positioned. Inspect the shoe for any visible tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity may be compromised.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

The outsole tread may be worn down. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. If worn, consider replacing the shoes. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris, which can affect grip.

  • Secure fit ensures foot stability during dynamic movements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking socks, especially given the GORE-TEX construction.

Compatibility: Suitable for road running, light trail running, and general athletic training. Compatible with most running apparel.

Care: To maintain the GORE-TEX membrane and overall integrity of the shoe:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof properties.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
