FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for someone with flat feet?
The Charged Pursuit 4 trainers are designed for neutral runners. While they offer good cushioning, individuals with flat feet who require significant arch support might need to consult with a specialist or consider adding supportive insoles.
How do I know if these shoes are 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, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug but not tight.
Can I use these for gym workouts as well as running?
Yes, the Charged Pursuit 4 trainers offer versatility and can be used for general gym workouts due to their stable base, cushioning, and flexibility. However, for highly specialized training like heavy weightlifting, dedicated trainers might be more appropriate.
What does 'Offset: 8mm' mean?
The offset refers to the heel-to-toe drop, which is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. An 8mm offset is considered moderate and suitable for many runners, promoting a natural foot strike.
How durable is the Charged Cushioning® midsole?
The Charged Cushioning® midsole is designed for durability and responsiveness. Under normal running conditions and with proper care, it should maintain its performance characteristics for several hundred miles.
Is the upper waterproof?
No, the performance mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. It can handle light splashes but is not suitable for running in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the benefit of the recycled content in the upper?
Using recycled content helps reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing by utilizing pre-consumer and post-consumer waste materials, contributing to sustainability without compromising the shoe's performance or breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even tension across the foot. Consider if the size is appropriate or if the sockliner is not conforming well yet. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Lack of cushioning or responsiveness
Ensure the Charged Cushioning® midsole has not been compromised by extreme heat or damage. For new shoes, allow a break-in period. If the issue persists, the shoes may have reached the end of their effective lifespan.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Wipe the outsole clean of debris. Note that while the outsole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip on any footwear. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper material shows signs of wear
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials. If the wear is significant, it may be time to consider replacement.
