FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best suited for?
The Crusher Distance Knit 2.0 trainers are optimized for road running and general fitness training, offering a balance of cushioning, energy return, and stability.
How do I clean my EA7 trainers?
Clean the upper, lining, and insole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for all weather conditions?
The technical mesh upper provides excellent breathability, making them ideal for warmer conditions. The reflective details enhance visibility in low light, but they are not waterproof and may not be suitable for heavy rain or snow.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
These trainers feature a flat heel height, providing a stable base and natural foot positioning.
How does the dual-density cushioning work?
The dual-density cushioning uses materials of different firmness. A softer layer absorbs impact, while a firmer layer provides responsiveness and energy return with each stride.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
Yes, their stability and cushioning make them suitable for various gym activities and cross-training, although they are primarily designed for running.
What does the PU in the outsole do?
The thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) component in the outsole enhances durability and provides good traction, working alongside the rubber for a balanced grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe shape does not suit your foot.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning's effectiveness can decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For optimal performance, consider replacing running shoes after 300-500 miles or when noticeable wear occurs.
Poor breathability leading to sweaty feet
Ensure the technical mesh upper is clean and free from debris that could obstruct airflow. Wear moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool.
Reflective details are not visible
Reflective details are most effective in low-light conditions when illuminated by an external light source. Ensure the details are clean; dirt or scuffs can reduce their reflectivity.
