FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Altamesa 500 v2 are designed for lighter training and general running. For marathon distances, you may require a shoe with more specialized cushioning and support.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What type of surfaces are the Surface CTRL™ outsoles best for?
The Surface CTRL™ outsoles are designed to improve traction on a variety of surfaces, including pavements, light trails, and gym floors.
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 end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
What is the primary benefit of the DREAM midsole?
The DREAM midsole provides lightweight cushioning, offering comfort and a responsive feel during your activities.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and athletic performance, not for protection against water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Surface CTRL™ outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions may reduce grip. Exercise caution and ensure proper foot placement.
Discomfort after initial wear
Many athletic shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase usage.
Difficulty pulling shoes on
Utilize the heel pull tab to assist in sliding the shoe onto your foot. Ensure laces are loosened to allow more room.
