FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and everyday wear. While they contain performance-inspired features, they are not optimized for long-distance professional running.
How do I switch the laces?
Simply unthread the current laces through the eyelets and re-thread the secondary pair starting from the bottom, ensuring they are pulled through evenly to maintain the three-point fit.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional arch support.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of lightweight, breathable synthetic textiles and overlays designed to mimic the look of classic athletic spikes.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the structural integrity of the Trusstic unit and the bond of the shoe materials. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Re-lace the trainers using the 'runner's loop' technique at the top eyelets to create a more secure lock around the ankle.
Visible dirt on mesh panels
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry dirt from the mesh before using a damp cloth.
Laces becoming untied
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces feel slick, or swap them for the second set provided if the texture of the original laces is not ideal for your knot style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the three-point fitting structure by ensuring the laces are tightened evenly from the bottom eyelets upward.
- Customization: Experiment with the provided secondary laces to match your daily outfit style.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that could degrade the synthetic materials or the GEL cushioning integrity.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper materials from fading or cracking.
