FAQs
What is the main advantage of Boost technology in these trainers?
Boost technology provides exceptional responsive cushioning and energy return, reducing impact on your joints and giving you a 'spring' with each step, making runs more comfortable and efficient.
Is the PRIMEKNIT upper durable?
Yes, PRIMEKNIT is a durable, flexible, and supportive material. It's designed to withstand the rigors of running while offering breathability and a sock-like fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash performance trainers, as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The PRIMEKNIT upper is adaptive and can accommodate a range of foot shapes. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's always best to try them on or consult sizing guides for the best fit.
What is the purpose of the Torsion System?
The Torsion System provides midfoot integrity and stability, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently while ensuring the shoe adapts to the ground and supports a natural gait.
How does the camouflage gum sole differ from a standard sole?
The camouflage gum sole offers the same excellent grip and durability as other Continental Rubber outsoles, but with a distinctive aesthetic design. 'Gum' typically refers to the rubber material's color and often implies good traction.
What is the difference between Ultra Boost 1.0 and Ultra Boost 1.0 DNA?
The 'DNA' designation often signifies a reimagined or updated version of the original model, incorporating modern design elements or slight material variations while retaining the core performance features of the Ultra Boost 1.0.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff initially.
This is common with new PRIMEKNIT uppers and leather overlays. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged strenuous activity until they feel comfortable.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While Continental Rubber offers excellent grip, extremely wet or oily surfaces can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean. For running in very wet conditions, consider the limitations of any footwear.
Difficulty cleaning the camouflage pattern.
Use a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials. If dirt is deeply embedded, use a toothbrush gently. Always rinse thoroughly with clean water and air dry.
Boost midsole appears discolored.
Boost technology can naturally yellow over time with exposure to UV light and general wear. This is cosmetic and does not affect performance. Store shoes away from direct sunlight when not in use to minimize this.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to gently clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the Continental Rubber outsole. Ensure any mud or debris is removed.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
