FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
They are designed for versatile training and performance. While they provide excellent energy return, they are best suited for daily training and gym work.
Does the 4D midsole feel different than traditional Boost foam?
Yes, the 4D lattice provides a firmer, more controlled response compared to the plush feeling of Boost foam.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the 4D lattice and the light-catching properties of the upper.
What surfaces are best for the Continental outsole?
The Continental rubber is highly effective on concrete, asphalt, and standard rubberized gym flooring.
Do these come in different widths?
The AlphaEdge 4D is built on a standard adult male fit. The dynamic lacing system provides some room for individual adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The 4D lattice structure often requires a short 'break-in' period of 5-10 miles to adapt to your stride.
Laces coming loose during workouts
Ensure you are using the dynamic lacing eyelets correctly to lock the midfoot in place; consider a double knot if performing high-intensity lateral drills.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your AlphaEdge 4D trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are using your standard UK athletic size. The dynamic lacing can be adjusted initially to accommodate your specific foot volume.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the lattice structure. For stains, apply a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive scrubbing on the light-catching materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
