Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
While beginners can use them, carbon-plated shoes are designed for performance and may require an adjustment period. It is recommended to ease into using them for shorter distances first.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
These trainers are highly specialized for running and training. While comfortable, their design is optimized for performance, and dedicated walking shoes might be more comfortable for extended periods of casual walking.
How do I clean the carbon plate?
The carbon plate is embedded within the midsole and does not require separate cleaning. Follow the general care instructions for the shoe's upper and sole.
What is the expected lifespan of the foam and plate?
The lifespan depends on usage, terrain, and individual biomechanics. For performance-oriented shoes like these, it's often recommended to replace them after 300-500 miles of running to maintain optimal cushioning and responsiveness.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the trainers are not waterproof. The upper is designed for breathability, which means they will allow water to pass through.
What does 'Supercritical Foam' mean?
Supercritical foaming is a process that uses gas under high pressure to create foam with a very low density and high energy return, resulting in a lightweight and responsive midsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff initially
This is common with carbon-plated shoes. Wear them for shorter runs or during warm-ups to gradually break them in. The foam and plate will adapt to your foot's mechanics over time.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The specialized outsole is designed for optimal performance on dry surfaces. Exercise caution and reduce speed when running on wet or slippery conditions.
Discomfort during lateral movements
Ensure the lacing is secure and provides adequate midfoot lockdown. The reinforced TPU overlays are designed for stability, but proper fit is crucial.
