FAQs
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
The Boost midsole offers excellent cushioning and energy return, making them suitable for marathon training and racing for many runners. However, individual needs for support and stability may vary.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not constricting, with enough room in the toe box. The heel should feel secure without slipping. It's recommended to try them on or consult the sizing guide.
Can the PrimeKnit upper be washed in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry the shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between this and other Ultra Boost models?
The 1.0 DNA models often draw inspiration from the original Ultra Boost 1.0 design while incorporating updated materials and construction methods. The 'DNA' generally signifies a connection to the heritage of the silhouette.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction for running and everyday wear. Regular cleaning will help maintain its performance and longevity.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The PrimeKnit upper offers some flexibility, but individuals with significantly wide feet may find the standard fit restrictive. It's advisable to try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
PrimeKnit upper looks dirty or stained.
Gently clean with a mild soap and water mixture and a soft brush. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris.
