FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for trail running on moderate terrain, including dirt paths, gravel, and light off-road conditions. They offer good cushioning for daily training and longer runs.
How does the DREAM foam midsole perform?
The DREAM foam midsole provides a soft underfoot feel for comfort and high rebound, offering good energy return during your stride.
What is the main benefit of the SURFACE CTRL™ SC2 rubber outsole?
The SURFACE CTRL™ SC2 rubber outsole, with its 4mm lugs, is designed to provide improved traction and grip on a variety of trail surfaces, enhancing stability.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes feature a lightweight, seamless upper with reinforcements. While designed for a comfortable fit, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug and should consider trying them on for fit.
How should I clean the white colorway?
For the white colorway, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap after removing loose dirt with a brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the intended gender and age group for these shoes?
These shoes are designed for adult female runners.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While the cushioning can provide comfort, these shoes are specifically designed for trails. The outsole lugs may wear down faster on pavement and might not offer the optimal grip or feel for road running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing
Loosen the laces and ensure the tongue is centered. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe size or width is appropriate for your foot. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses.
Traction feels inadequate on slippery surfaces
The 4mm lugs are designed for varied terrain. For extremely wet or muddy conditions, proceed with caution or consider a shoe with more aggressive lugs. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.
Midsole feels too soft or lacks responsiveness
The DREAM foam is designed for soft cushioning. Responsiveness can be influenced by wear over time. Ensure you are using them on appropriate surfaces for their intended design.
Upper material shows wear prematurely
While zonal reinforcements add durability, avoid excessively abrasive environments or snagging the material on sharp objects. Clean regularly to prevent dirt buildup from causing wear.
