Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

How do I care for the leather parts of the trainers?

For the leather overlays, use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean. Condition the leather periodically if desired, and always allow to air dry.

What does the "2000" detail on the laces signify?

What is the purpose of the rubber wings on the side?

Troubleshooting

Laces feel difficult to tighten evenly

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the webbed system. Try loosening all laces before re-tightening from the bottom up for a more uniform fit.

Discomfort in the heel area

Ensure you have the correct size and that the heel counter is not creased. Break-in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Mesh appears dirty and difficult to clean

Use a soft brush with a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the mesh area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
