FAQs
What is Fulcrum Technology?
Fulcrum Technology is an innovation integrated into the midsole that promotes a smooth transition from heel strike to toe-off, enhancing stability and support with each step.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Super Fulcrum trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and walking comfort. While they draw inspiration from running heritage, they are not intended for high-impact athletic training or competitive running.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft brush or slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede, a dedicated suede brush is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, specific leather and suede cleaners can be used.
Do they offer good ventilation?
Yes, the trainers incorporate breathable mesh panels designed to promote airflow and keep your feet comfortable during wear.
What does the Finnish line guidance system do?
This system works with the Fulcrum Technology to guide the foot through a more natural and stable motion, contributing to overall comfort and alignment.
Are there reflective elements for visibility?
Yes, the design includes subtle reflective details that enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
What kind of outsole does this model have?
It features a modern T-profile lug outsole designed to provide dependable traction for daily wear on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common due to the Fulcrum technology. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. While the T-profile offers good grip, all outsoles have limitations on extremely slick surfaces.
Leather or suede shows signs of wear or staining.
Address stains promptly. Use a leather cleaner for leather parts and a suede brush or cleaner for suede. Consider applying a protective spray suitable for both materials.
Mesh panels are dirty.
Gently clean mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes. Allow to air dry completely.
