FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Infinity Wave technology?
The Infinity Wave technology provides enhanced cushioning and flexibility, helping to disperse impact forces and offer a more comfortable and stable stride.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning and flexibility, they are primarily designed for style and comfort in daily wear. For specialized high-impact running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the 3D mesh upper?
Gently use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
What inspired the design of the Wave Prophecy LS?
The design is inspired by the retro-futuristic styles of the '90s and early 2000s, combining nostalgic elements with modern technological features.
What does 'LS' stand for in the product name?
LS typically stands for 'Lifestyle', indicating that this model is designed with a focus on everyday wear and style rather than purely athletic performance.
Can these shoes be worn by women?
While this specific listing is for adult male sizing (UK 10), the Wave Prophecy LS series is often available in unisex options. Please check other available variants for unisex or female sizing.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The outsole features an abrasion-resistant rubber insert designed for durability and to provide high grip during everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if the sizing is correct for your foot shape. For minor tightness, wearing them for short periods can help break them in.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a talcum powder or cornstarch lightly under the insole. If the noise persists, check if any part of the sole is loose.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The outsole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet surfaces may vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significant wetness, exercise caution.
Discoloration of fabric or accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean the shoes only with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and ensure they are dried properly away from heat.
