How does the ABZORB midsole differ from standard foam?

Are these trainers waterproof?

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and moderate use, these trainers can last for a significant period. However, lifespan varies based on usage intensity, frequency, and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning over time
The ABZORB midsole may compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers if cushioning is significantly diminished.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean of debris. For heavily worn soles, consider replacement. Note that while the sole provides grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can vary.
Slightly tight fit after initial wear
The nylon material offers some flexibility. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
