FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Supernova Glide is designed for high-mileage comfort, making it a capable choice for marathon training and race day for many neutral runners.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are optimized for running, the stable cushioning makes them acceptable for light gym use, though they are not designed as dedicated weightlifting shoes.
How do I know if I have a neutral gait?
A neutral runner typically has a balanced stride where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls inward slightly to absorb shock.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Supernova Glide should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Is the material waterproof?
The upper is designed for breathability, not waterproof protection. They will get wet in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces across the midfoot area and ensure the gusseted tongue is lying flat without folds.
Slippage inside the shoe
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to better secure the ankle collar.
Reduced traction on slick surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free of debris or stones stuck in the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Supernova Glide trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are crafted with a standard regular fit. Ensure you wear your preferred running socks when testing the fit to account for natural foot expansion.
- Lacing: Utilize the lace closure system to customize the tension across your midfoot. Ensure the gusseted tongue remains centered for optimal security.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
