FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
They are designed for building endurance and training, making them a solid choice for base mileage, though performance preferences for race day vary by individual runner.
How should I clean the white mesh upper?
Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine, as high heat and agitation can damage the foam and structural materials.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Ultrarun 5 is a neutral trainer. While it provides comfort via the OrthoLite sockliner, it does not feature specialized motion control for severe overpronation.
What does the 10mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the difference in height between the heel (35mm) and the forefoot (25mm), which encourages a smoother heel-to-toe transition.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While intended for running, the stable cushioning and grippy sole make them versatile enough for treadmill work and moderate gym activities.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel.
Discomfort or chafing during long runs
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton.
Visible dirt on the white mesh
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner or a mixture of mild detergent and a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, secure your fit using the traditional lace closure system, ensuring even tension across the instep. For care, remove the OrthoLite sockliner after particularly sweaty runs to allow it to air out separately. Clean the mesh upper by gently brushing off loose dirt; if deeper cleaning is required, use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
