FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Carbon Progression Plate?
The Carbon Progression Plate is designed to provide a high energy return during the propulsion phase of your stride, enhancing speed, while also offering the stability needed for functional training movements.
How does the Supercritical 247 Foam differ from traditional foams?
Supercritical 247 Foam is characterized by its low density and high rebound rate (65%), offering responsive cushioning and a lively feel without making the shoe feel overly soft or mushy.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, these trainers are engineered for performance. For everyday casual wear, they may offer more responsiveness and support than typically needed.
What kind of training are these shoes best suited for?
They are best suited for hybrid training that combines running (from short sprints to longer distances) with functional fitness exercises that require stability and agility.
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. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting.
Are the reflective elements effective in all low-light conditions?
The reflective elements are designed to enhance visibility when illuminated by external light sources, such as headlights. Their effectiveness depends on the presence of such light.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for running in heavy rain or puddles. It's best to keep them dry and allow them to air dry if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Reduced responsiveness or cushioning over time
The foam may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry, and consider their lifespan for optimal performance.
Discomfort during initial wear
These shoes feature advanced materials and a performance-focused design. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs to let the shoe adapt to your foot.
Upper material showing wear
While durable, the upper can be susceptible to abrasion. Avoid dragging feet during runs and ensure proper fit to prevent excessive rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These trainers are designed for immediate use upon purchase, requiring no specific setup beyond selecting the correct size. They are compatible with standard athletic activities and are not intended for use with specialized equipment that might interact negatively with their construction.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
