FAQs
What is the primary material of the Storm 96 2K trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of mesh and synthetic leather for the upper, with a rubber outsole and EVA midsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They offer comfort and support for everyday use, but are not optimized for high-impact, long-distance running.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply sparingly and test on a small area first. Always allow to air dry.
What does the TPU plate do?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) plate and inserts in the midsole provide enhanced support and stability to the foot.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is advised.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure a snug fit without being too tight. There should be a small amount of space at the front of the toe box. Refer to the size guide if unsure.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and helps to absorb shock, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before wearing. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the materials will stretch slightly with wear.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as no outsole guarantees perfect grip.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. Use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and potentially reduce the appearance of creases. Store with shoe trees if possible.
Discoloration from cleaning
Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Use mild cleaning agents and avoid excessive water, especially on leather parts.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For the leather components, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
