FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands-Free'?
They feature a unique design with a structured heel and an internal 'Heel Pillow®' that allows you to slide your foot in and out without needing to bend down or use your hands.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can typically be removed. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking, comfort, and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and responsiveness required for intense running activities.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® outsole is engineered for enhanced durability and traction, providing reliable performance and longevity on various surfaces compared to standard outsoles.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The insoles are designed for specific comfort and support. While you can often remove the existing insole to accommodate custom orthotics, it may alter the intended fit and feel of the shoe.
What is the main benefit of Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology uses a geometrically designed sole to create smooth transitions from heel strike to toe-off, improving your walking stride and overall efficiency.
What is the primary difference between Max Cushioning and Glide-Step®?
Max Cushioning focuses on providing a thick layer of soft, shock-absorbing foam for comfort. Glide-Step® is a sole design that promotes a smoother heel-to-toe movement during walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the tension of the laces. For a snugger fit, pull the laces tighter. For a looser feel, loosen them. If the fit is still not ideal, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's structure suits your foot shape.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the back of the shoe. Some users find it helpful to slightly loosen the laces before slipping them on. For initial wears, the Heel Pillow® might feel firm, but it should adapt with use.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If the shoes have been used extensively, the cushioning may naturally have reduced. Check for any debris trapped in the Glide-Step® grooves that might affect performance.
Traction seems diminished.
Inspect the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a brush and water. If significant wear is visible, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
