While they provide great durability for daily wear, users should note that the 10mm drop is specifically engineered for a heel-to-toe running transition rather than a minimalist barefoot feel.

FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?
These shoes are designed for daily runs, morning activities, and general fitness. While comfortable, professional marathoners might prefer more specialized, lighter performance series.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What does the 10mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the height difference between the heel (34 mm) and the forefoot (24 mm). This encourages a heel-striking gait, common in most runners.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The mesh upper offers a degree of flexibility. However, if you typically require wide-width specific shoes, we recommend trying them on to ensure the midfoot fit is comfortable for your arch.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
How much recycled content is used?
The shoe is constructed with at least 20% recycled material by weight, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Try a 'window lacing' technique to reduce pressure on the bridge while keeping the shoe secure.
Slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the heel is locked in by using the final eyelet for a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method.
Midsole foam feels less responsive over time
If the cushioning is failing after extensive use, it indicates the EVA foam has reached its mechanical life cycle and may require replacement for continued joint support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ultrarun 5 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short sessions initially to allow the foam to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Do not machine wash, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can warp the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage to the mesh and midsole materials.
