FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Questar 3 is primarily designed for daily training and mid-distance runs. While durable, dedicated marathoners may prefer specialized distance shoes.
Can I use these for weightlifting?
The cushioning is optimized for running. For heavy lifting, you may prefer a shoe with a flatter, firmer sole to provide a more stable foundation.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These follow standard UK sizing. We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
Does the mesh upper provide water resistance?
No, the mesh is designed specifically for breathability. It is not waterproof and will allow moisture in during heavy rain.
What is the primary benefit of the Bounce technology?
Bounce is a foam technology that offers a springy, elastic feel that helps return energy with every foot strike, reducing muscle fatigue.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
The construction focuses on recycled materials, but please check the specific product label for confirmation of non-animal components as materials can vary by production batch.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel lock and tighten the midfoot.
Cushioning feels less responsive after many miles
Check the outsole for excessive wear; if the foam is fully compressed, it may be time to rotate into a fresh pair.
Upper mesh attracting dirt/stains
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a light detergent solution; scrub gently with a soft cloth rather than a harsh brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Questar 3 trainers last, proper care is essential.
Setup & Sizing:
Ensure your fit is secure by leaving about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. These are standard fit, allowing for most foot widths.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or heaters, as this can degrade the foam cushioning.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles to allow them to dry independently.
