While it features a carbon plate, it is primarily designed as a max-cushion daily trainer rather than a lightweight racing flat.
These are road-specific trainers. The outsole and stability profile are optimized for paved, consistent surfaces.
Use a soft brush and cool water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesive and foam properties.
The Skyward X 2 is designed with weight-saving materials, making it lighter than its predecessor despite the increased cushioning.
The shoes offer immediate comfort, but it is recommended to wear them for a few short walks or light runs to allow the foam to conform to your foot strike.
Ensure the shoe is laced snugly using the top eyelet to create a runner's loop, which improves ankle lockdown.
Rotate your shoes. Foam needs time to decompress after a long run; giving the shoe 24 hours between sessions helps the cushioning recover its bounce.
To ensure the best experience with the Skyward X 2, start by ensuring the laces are tensioned uniformly across the zonally padded tongue to prevent pressure points. These trainers are built for road surfaces and paved paths; avoid excessive use on technical or sharp rocky trails to preserve the integrity of the outsole rubber. To maintain the cushioning, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If they get wet or muddy, clean them with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources, which can damage the midsole foam composition.
