FAQs
Is the Skyward X 2 suitable for trail running?
No, this shoe is specifically engineered for road surfaces and paved daily miles.
Does the carbon plate make this a racing shoe?
While it features performance technology, it is optimized as a 'super trainer' for daily, high-mileage comfort rather than just pure speed racing.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the integrity of the foam and the carbon plate. Always hand clean.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks you intend to use for your runs. The Skyward X 2 fits true to standard running shoe sizing. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. If they become dirty, wipe the creel jacquard upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the foam cushioning and adhesive bonds.
