FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for comfortable everyday wear and light to moderate exercise like walking and training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced features for long-distance performance are recommended.
How do I properly clean the shoes?
The shoes are machine washable. Wash them on a gentle cycle with mild soap and cold water, preferably in a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry them completely and avoid using a dryer.
What does 'M-Strike technology' do?
M-Strike technology is integrated into the midsole to help promote a smoother transition from the heel or midfoot landing to the toe-off phase of your stride, enhancing walking efficiency.
Are the bungee laces adjustable?
Yes, the No Tie Fit bungee lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a personalized and secure fit. You can tighten or loosen them as needed.
Can I wear these shoes if I have wide feet?
The athletic mesh upper offers some flexibility. While not explicitly designed for wide feet, many users find the adaptive nature of the material and lacing system accommodates different foot shapes comfortably. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible.
What is the weight of the trainers?
The trainers are ultra-lightweight, weighing approximately 8.8 oz (250g) for a women's size 6.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers feature an athletic mesh upper, which is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture; they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the tension of the No Tie Fit bungee lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly; for a looser fit, ease the tension. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning can naturally degrade. Ensure the shoes have not been subjected to excessive heat or improper washing, which can damage the midsole foam. Consider replacement if performance significantly declines after extended use.
Soles are slippery.
Check the traction pattern on the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the wear is significant, the shoes may need replacement for optimal grip.
Machine washing resulted in damage or discoloration.
Ensure you followed the recommended machine washing instructions: use a mesh bag, mild soap, cold water, and a gentle cycle. Always air dry. If damage occurred, discontinue machine washing and opt for spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
