FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

They are designed for versatile daily use, including walking and light exercise. While they feature Fresh Foam technology, they are best suited for moderate activity rather than long-distance marathon training.

Can I replace the original insoles?

Yes, the trainers feature removable insoles, which are specifically designed to be compatible with custom orthotics for a more personalized fit.

Are the trainers waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or wet conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

These trainers follow standard UK sizing. Ensure you measure your foot while standing and account for slight swelling that occurs throughout the day.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Gently dab the surface to avoid forcing dirt into the mesh fibers.

Does the weight of the shoe vary by size?

The weight of 271.7 grams is an average measurement; minor variations may occur based on the specific size selected.

Troubleshooting

Insole sliding or shifting

Ensure the insole is properly aligned within the heel cup and check that the interior surface is clean and free of debris.

Odour buildup from daily use

Remove the insoles after use to allow the shoe to air out properly and consider using moisture-absorbing inserts overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance and setup tips:

  1. Orthotic Compatibility: To insert custom orthotics, gently lift the edge of the factory-provided insole and pull it out. Insert your own orthotic, ensuring it lies flat against the bottom of the shoe.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the trainers or putting them in a washing machine, as high heat and mechanical agitation can degrade the foam structure.
  3. Drying: Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight to prevent material warping.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning over time.
