FAQs
What makes the Surge shoes suitable for multiple terrains?
The combination of the SRX Extreme Slip Resistance outsole for grip and the supercritical foam cushioning for comfort allows them to perform well on varied surfaces, from trails to urban environments.
How does the cushioning technology work?
Supercritical foam technology creates a lightweight, responsive cushioning system that absorbs shock and provides energy return with each step, enhancing comfort during prolonged activity.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature waxy nubuck and nylon mesh, offering some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection in wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray.
What is CLEANSPORT NXT™?
CLEANSPORT NXT™ is a pro-biotic technology integrated into the shoe lining that helps to control and eliminate odor-causing bacteria, keeping the footwear fresh.
How should I clean the waxy nubuck material?
Use a specialized nubuck cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the material, as this can damage the finish.
What is the primary benefit of the SRX outsole?
The SRX outsole is engineered to provide extreme slip resistance, offering enhanced safety and confidence when walking on slick or uneven surfaces.
Can these shoes be worn year-round?
Yes, the combination of durable materials and breathable mesh makes them suitable for multi-season use, though intense cold or prolonged submersion in water is not recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction seems reduced on very smooth, wet surfaces
While designed for extreme slip resistance, extremely polished or wet surfaces can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal performance.
Interior odor develops
The CLEANSPORT NXT™ technology helps manage odor. Ensure shoes are aired out properly after use. If odor persists, a gentle wipe with a diluted vinegar solution inside the shoe, followed by thorough drying, may help.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a strong knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or anti-slip variety if this is a persistent issue.
