FAQs
What makes the AE 1 Ascent different from other AE 1 models?
The AE 1 Ascent features a distinctive marbled pattern on its TPU side panels, adding a unique aesthetic variation to the standard AE 1 series.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The shoe features a mid-top construction with a mesh upper and TPU side panels. While the mesh offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on or checking reviews for wide-foot specific feedback is recommended.
How durable is the Jet Boost and LightStrike midsole?
Both Jet Boost and LightStrike are designed for durability and performance. Jet Boost provides long-lasting cushioning, while LightStrike offers a lightweight yet resilient feel. Proper care will ensure their longevity.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structural integrity.
What is the purpose of the torsional plate?
The full-length torsional plate provides midfoot stability, preventing unwanted twisting of the shoe during intense movements and enhancing overall control and support.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart and ensure your heel is comfortably secured without excessive pressure. The lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
This is common due to the supportive construction. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help speed up the break-in process.
Traction is reduced on dusty surfaces
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Regularly cleaning the outsole will restore its grip.
Discoloration on TPU panels
If dirt or scuffs appear on the marbled TPU panels, clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
