FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?

The ABZORB midsole provides a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, which effectively absorbs impact and enhances comfort during wear.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer good cushioning, but they are primarily designed for casual wear, everyday activities, and light athletic use. They are not intended for high-impact or professional running.

How do I clean the white leather and suede parts?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to water. Allow to air dry naturally.

What does the 'Protection Pack' refer to in the name?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to a specific design aesthetic featuring layered, deconstructed-looking overlays, giving the shoe a distinct, robust appearance often associated with enhanced durability and a unique visual style.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

Yes, the adjustable lace closure and removable insole (check specific model for removability) generally allow for the insertion of custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles.

What is the intended gender for these shoes?

These trainers are designed as unisex, suitable for both men and women.

What is the outsole made of and what are its benefits?

The outsole is made with N-ergy technology, which provides superior shock absorption and durability, ensuring good traction and a responsive feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly through all eyelets. For a looser fit, ease tension on the laces, particularly around the midfoot.

Discomfort in the arch area.

Ensure the laces are providing adequate support. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support, as the built-in Stability Web may not align with all foot types.

Squeaking noise during walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior or the outsole contacting a smooth surface. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole.

Leather creasing excessively.

Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize harsh creases, avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking and consider using shoe trees for storage to help maintain the natural shape.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and suede areas with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Mesh Panels: Use a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris from the mesh sections. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher spots, followed by air drying.
  • Outsole: Clean the N-ergy outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure no debris is lodged in the tread.
  • Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the footwear.
