FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
No, these shoes are designed for comfort during casual wear and light training. They are not built to withstand the high impact and specific support requirements of marathon running.
How do I clean the textile upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more persistent stains, a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution can be used gently. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
What does 'wide fit' mean for these shoes?
'Wide fit' indicates that the shoes are constructed with more room across the width of the sole and in the toe box compared to standard-fit shoes. This is intended for increased comfort for individuals who typically find regular-width shoes too narrow.
Can I replace the elastic laces with regular laces?
While not recommended as the shoe is designed around the elastic system, it may be possible depending on the lacing setup. However, this could alter the fit and intended performance of the shoe.
How durable is the CLOUDFOAM midsole?
The CLOUDFOAM midsole offers good durability for its intended use in casual wear and light activities. For very rigorous or frequent athletic use, specialized training shoes might offer greater long-term durability.
What is the primary benefit of the memory foam sockliner?
The memory foam sockliner molds to the unique shape of your foot over time, providing personalized cushioning and enhanced comfort tailored to your individual foot contour.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size.
Given the wide fit, if the shoes feel too tight, it may indicate an incompatibility with your foot shape. Ensure the elastic laces are adjusted appropriately. If the issue persists, consider trying a different model or a size up if available and suitable.
Cushioning feels inadequate during longer wear.
The CLOUDFOAM midsole provides standard cushioning. For enhanced comfort or if you require more support, consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotics designed for athletic shoes. Ensure the memory foam sockliner is properly seated.
Elastic laces are difficult to adjust.
Gently pull the laces to adjust the tension. If they feel stuck, check for any debris or knots in the lacing system. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and midsole. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: The elastic laces are designed for durability but can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure they are properly secured after cleaning.
