FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for stability during weightlifting and strength training. While they offer some support for dynamic movements, they are not optimized for running due to their structured sole and firm cushioning.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure the shoe feels snug but not constricting around the midfoot and heel.
What is the main benefit of the TPU midfoot torsion system?
The TPU midfoot torsion system provides torsional stability, meaning it helps prevent the shoe from twisting excessively during lateral movements and supports dynamic actions, offering a more controlled feel.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after workouts where they may have accumulated dirt or sweat. Regular airing out between uses is also recommended for maintaining freshness.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?
While comfortable due to the mesh upper, their design is specialized for training. For prolonged casual wear, you might find more cushioned or flexible options more suitable.
What is the recommended break-in period?
Most users find that the shoes become more comfortable after a few training sessions as the materials adapt to the shape of their foot. Wear them for shorter workouts initially to ease the break-in process.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If the tightness persists, consider if this is a break-in period issue or if a different size might be more appropriate.
Slipping during lifts
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue continues, check the surface you are training on for adequate grip.
Breathability seems low
Ensure the mesh upper is not obstructed by dirt or debris. Allow shoes to air out between uses to maximize ventilation.
Discomfort during dynamic movements
Verify the laces are properly tightened to engage the TPU midfoot torsion system. Allow for a break-in period as the shoe molds to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for male adults engaging in weightlifting, strength training, and gym workouts. They are compatible with most standard gym flooring.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Material Care: The leather and textile components should be treated according to standard footwear care practices for athletic shoes. Consider using a protective spray suitable for mixed materials if you anticipate exposure to harsh elements.
