FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While technically engineered for energy return, they are primarily designed as lifestyle-performance trainers; most users prefer them for walking and casual athletic use.
How should I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth for the white upper elements, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Is the sizing true to size?
Generally, yes, but because the upper construction is structured for support, some users prefer a half-size up for a more relaxed fit.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
The insoles are removable, allowing for the placement of custom orthotics if necessary for your arch support needs.
Does the 4D lattice break down over time?
The 4D structure is highly durable and resistant to compression set, meaning it maintains its performance characteristics longer than many traditional foam midsoles.
Troubleshooting
Debris stuck in the lattice midsole
Gently use a soft brush or compressed air to dislodge trapped dirt or small stones from the open structure.
Feeling of discomfort during first use
The 4D midsole is firmer than standard foam; give your feet a few days of light wear to adapt to the unique support profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature advanced material construction, they should be treated as premium footwear. To ensure the best fit, wear the specific socks you intend to use for your activities during your first try-on. Avoid wearing the shoes in extreme mud or heavy off-road conditions, as the open-cell structure of the lattice midsole can collect debris. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the lattice, and wipe the upper material with a slightly damp cloth. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds and the precision-printed midsole geometry.
