What is the main benefit of the Scutoid GEL cushioning system?
The Scutoid GEL cushioning system is engineered with a unique shape to absorb shock more effectively, providing enhanced softness underfoot and improved stability during movement.
How does the FF Blast™ Plus ECO technology contribute to the shoe?
This technology significantly reduces the overall weight of the shoe, allowing for more dynamic movement. It also utilizes recycled materials, supporting a more sustainable approach to footwear manufacturing.
Can these trainers be used for running?

Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing laces with a material that offers better grip.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning technology is designed for durability, but performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. Clean the shoes regularly and ensure they are not overexposed to extreme conditions.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. The unisex sizing may require more attention to ensure a snug fit around the heel and forefoot. Consider using insoles for additional support if needed.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped within the shoe or friction between components. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, it might indicate an internal component issue.
