These are primarily designed for weightlifting and stability training. They lack the cushioning and energy return required for distance running.
The TPU system provides structural support that prevents the shoe from twisting, which is critical for maintaining balance during heavy lifts.
Yes, they are suitable for strength-based HIIT, though the firm sole may feel stiffer than specialized cardio footwear.
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
The shoes feature a wide fit design for stability, so ensure you match your standard UK shoe size.
Training shoes with stable midsoles often require a short break-in period; wear them for light activity to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Ensure you are using a secure double knot and that the laces are fed through all eyelets for maximum lockdown.
For optimal performance, ensure you select your correct size to utilize the stability benefits of the wide fit. Since these shoes are primarily for training, avoid using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces to preserve the multi-directional grip of the outsole. To clean, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as this can compromise the integrity of the TPU midfoot system and the structural adhesive.
