FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While wearable, they are designed as high-performance racing tools and may not provide the longevity required for daily, non-athletic use.
How should I clean the translucent mesh upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid abrasive scrubbing to keep the mesh intact.
Does the carbon fiber plate need to 'break in'?
Most runners find these shoes perform best after a few short test runs to allow the foam and plate to adjust to your specific stride.
What is the primary difference between these and standard trainers?
The SuperComp Elite v6 utilizes advanced materials like the carbon fiber plate and Infinion foam specifically for energy return, whereas standard trainers prioritize long-term durability and comfort for slow-paced training.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road and track surfaces. They lack the lugged traction and rugged protection necessary for technical trail terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during use
Re-lace the shoes using different eyelet configurations to adjust tension; ensure your socks are performance-oriented to reduce friction.
Inconsistent energy return or 'flat' feel
Ensure the shoes are fully dry and that the foam hasn't been exposed to extreme temperatures or harsh cleaning chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are precision racing shoes, ensure a proper fit by testing them with your preferred running socks before your first race. To maintain the integrity of the carbon plate and the responsive foam, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap if needed, and always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent degradation of the performance materials.
