FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

The Dropset 4 trainers are designed primarily for strength training and functional fitness. They can accommodate shorter runs within a training session, but they are not optimized for long-distance running due to their stability-focused construction.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when you walk or perform exercises.

What is the purpose of the Repetitor foam?

The Repetitor foam midsole is engineered to provide a consistent level of energy return and stability, supporting your movements during intense training sessions.

Can I use these for CrossFit competitions?

Yes, these trainers are well-suited for CrossFit competitions due to their versatility in handling weightlifting, explosive movements, and agility drills.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is constructed with both Continental™ rubber for reliable traction and Adiwear rubber specifically for enhanced durability, making it robust for various training activities.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

It is recommended to wear athletic socks that provide cushioning and moisture-wicking properties to enhance comfort and hygiene during workouts.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Dropset 4 trainers feature a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them snug. It's always best to try them on if possible to assess comfort.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are double-knotted. If the lace material is slippery, consider replacing them with laces that have more grip.

Reduced traction on gym floor

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. Ensure the floor surface is clean.

Discomfort during workouts

Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot. Ensure the shoe's standard fit is appropriate for your foot shape. Consider trying them on during a light workout if possible.

Material feels stiff

The textile upper and Repetitor foam may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially until they conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Dropset 4 trainers are primarily designed for indoor training, weightlifting, and functional fitness. They are compatible with various gym flooring and surfaces due to their specialized outsole.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  3. Outsole: Regularly check the outsole for debris and clean as needed to maintain traction.
