Skechers Trainers - Aero Tempo - Black - Size 3.5

The Skechers Aero Tempo trainers are primarily designed for speed training and shorter races like 5ks or 10ks due to their aggressive design and focus on propulsion. While they can be used for longer distances, runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort for marathons might prefer a dedicated marathon shoe.

HYPER BURST® is an advanced cushioning material made using a 'super critical®' process. It offers exceptionally lightweight, resilient, and long-lasting cushioning compared to traditional EVA foam, providing superior energy return.

You might notice a feeling of propulsion or a 'springy' sensation with each stride, especially when running at faster paces. The plate helps to stiffen the shoe slightly and return energy, contributing to a more efficient toe-off.

While comfortable, the Aero Tempo's performance-oriented design, including the rocker and carbon plate, is optimized for running. For extensive walking, a shoe with more flexible cushioning and a less aggressive design might be more suitable for long-term comfort.

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive cleaning agents, as this can damage the material and the reflective elements.

The HYPER ARC® rocker technology and carbon plate are designed to benefit midfoot to forefoot strikers, promoting a quicker transition through the gait cycle. Heel strikers may find the shoe's geometry less intuitive.

This can sometimes occur with new cushioning systems. Try running a few more miles to break them in. If the noise persists, ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Loosen the laces on the affected area. You can also try wearing slightly thicker socks or consult a shoe fitter about potential insoles or stretching options.

The Goodyear® outsole is optimized for dry conditions. While it offers some wet grip, exercise caution on wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris which can further reduce traction.
