FAQs
What does 'zero-drop' mean?
A zero-drop sole means there is no difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This design promotes a more natural foot posture and gait, similar to walking barefoot.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
Yes, they are suitable for running, especially for those who prefer a natural or minimalist running style. The zero-drop and foot-shaped design encourage proper form. However, if you are new to zero-drop shoes, a gradual transition is recommended.
What is the main benefit of the foot-shaped design?
The foot-shaped design allows your toes to splay naturally, providing better balance and stability. It mimics the natural position of your foot without shoes.
How should I clean these trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What is the weight of these trainers?
These trainers weigh approximately 620g per pair.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
Due to the minimalist and foot-shaped design, they may not accommodate most standard orthotics. If you require orthotics, it's advisable to consult with a footwear specialist.
What activities are these trainers best suited for?
They are ideal for walking, light hiking, casual wear, and for individuals who enjoy a barefoot feel in their footwear. They can also be used for gym workouts.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or unfamiliar feeling
This is common when transitioning to a zero-drop or minimalist shoe. Start by wearing them for short periods and gradually increase duration as your feet and muscles adapt. Consider doing foot strengthening exercises.
Traction is less effective on very smooth, wet indoor surfaces
The aggressive tread designed for outdoor grip may be less effective on certain polished indoor floors. Exercise caution when walking on such surfaces.
Fit feels too snug or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or width if available. The lacing system can be adjusted for a more customized fit.
