FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Glide-Step® Vortex - Avalin trainers feature a standard fit. While the stretch laces offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them restrictive. Checking for wider width options or trying them on in person is recommended.
How durable is the ULTRA LIGHT midsole?
The ULTRA LIGHT midsole is designed for responsiveness and weight reduction. Its durability is comparable to other performance running shoe midsoles and is generally expected to last for several hundred miles of running.
Can I use these for cross-training activities?
While excellent for running, their primary design is for stride efficiency. For intense cross-training involving lateral movements, shoes with more specific lateral support might be more suitable.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of the shoe.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended only when necessary to maintain cleanliness and manage odor. Frequent washing can potentially degrade the materials over time. Air drying is crucial.
What is the main benefit of M-Strike® technology?
M-Strike® technology is engineered to promote a smoother, more efficient transition from heel strike to toe-off, which can help improve running form and reduce fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While featuring fixed stretch laces, slight adjustments can be made by how the laces are positioned. For significant fit issues, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after a significant mileage, typically between 300-500 miles, or if you notice a substantial loss of support.
Foot odor after use
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole helps with breathability. Ensure shoes are aired out completely after each use. Machine washing periodically can also help manage odor.
