FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

How should I clean the polyester upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals and do not submerge in water.
Is the sizing true to fit?
They generally align with standard adult athletic sizing, but we recommend consulting the specific UK size guide before purchase.

Yes, the insoles are removable to allow for the insertion of custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, then spot clean with mild detergent and water.
Feeling of diminished cushioning
Allow the shoe to rest for 24-48 hours between uses to let the foam and GEL units recover their structural shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, avoid exposing them to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning polymers. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush before gently wiping the polyester upper with a damp, mild-soap solution. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can damage the adhesive bonds and the GEL cushioning units. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried in a ventilated area away from artificial heat sources.
