FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
These shoes are designed for serious runners due to their advanced geometry and cushioning; beginners may prefer a more stable, lower-stack trainer while building foot strength.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these are designed specifically for road running and smooth surfaces; the outsole and high-stack profile are not suited for the unpredictability of trails.
How should I clean the Strung upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Do not soak or scrub aggressively as this can fray the intricate Strung fibers.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The ergonomic construction provides a neutral, natural fit that supports the foot, but it is not a dedicated orthotic shoe.
What is the best way to break them in?
Start with shorter, 3-5 mile runs to allow the midsole foam and your foot muscles to adapt to the higher stack height.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during corners
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to leverage the Strung upper's lateral support; adjust your landing strike to be more centered.
Build-up of dirt in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the Strung fabric after your run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, secure the laces with a runner's knot to fully engage the Strung upper's lockdown capabilities. These shoes are unisex; please refer to your specific size requirements in UK sizing. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesive bonds. Instead, remove the insole and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct sunlight or radiators to preserve the integrity of the breathable mesh.
