FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser feel, consider moving up a half size.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

While they are comfortable for jogging, the 4.0 DNA series is better suited for lifestyle use and short training sessions.

How do I maintain the black colour?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that might fade the fabric.

Are they waterproof?

No, the breathable knit upper is not water-resistant and will absorb moisture.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Knit upper feels too tight

Loosen the lacing system completely and re-tie to redistribute pressure across the top of the foot.

Midsole showing small cracks

Small creases in the Boost material are normal due to compression; clean regularly to prevent debris from getting trapped in the foam texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your UltraBoost 4.0 DNA, always ensure you select the correct UK size, such as the 8.5 for this specific model, as the knit material is designed to fit snugly. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains; avoid placing them in a washing machine, as heat can degrade the integrity of the Boost foam. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the knit upper.
