FAQs
What makes the Futurecraft 4D midsole unique?
The midsole is created using Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), a 3D-printing technology that allows for the precise construction of a complex lattice structure. This structure is engineered to provide advanced cushioning, energy return, and targeted support tailored to the biomechanics of running.
Is this shoe suitable for all types of running?
The Futurecraft 4D is best suited for road running and daily training. While it offers good traction, it is not specifically designed for highly technical or muddy off-road trails.
How durable is the 3D-printed midsole?
The 3D-printed midsole is designed for durability and performance. With proper care and regular cleaning, it should maintain its supportive and cushioning properties throughout its intended lifespan.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the delicate Primeknit upper and the 3D-printed midsole. Hand-wash gently using a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the primary benefit of the Primeknit upper?
The Primeknit upper provides a breathable, flexible, and sock-like fit that conforms to the shape of your foot. This ensures comfort, reduces the risk of irritation, and offers a secure feel during activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug and secure, like a second skin, without being constricting. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Ensure your heel does not slip.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Primeknit upper should offer a snug, sock-like fit. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or half-size up/down.
Midsole feels stiff initially
The 3D-printed midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter walks or runs initially to allow them to mold to your foot.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, always exercise caution on wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris which can affect grip.
Discoloration on the midsole
Exposure to prolonged direct sunlight can cause slight discoloration. Store the shoes away from direct sunlight when not in use. Clean gently as per care instructions.

Care:
