FAQs

How do I clean my Hi-Tec Silver Shadow OG Trainers?

These trainers are 'Wipe Clean only'. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the PU suede and mesh. For tougher spots, a small amount of mild soap can be used, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While the Silver Shadow was an iconic running shoe in the 80s, its modern iteration is described as a 'multi-purpose trainer.' It's excellent for light running, walking, and general daily wear, offering comfort and support. For intense or long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer more advanced features.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The heel height of the Hi-Tec Silver Shadow OG Trainer is 3.0 cm.

Can I use my own orthotics with these trainers?

Yes, the trainers feature a 'Removable EVA Sockliner,' allowing you to easily replace it with custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized comfort and support.

How do these trainers provide support?

Support comes from several features: the 'Lightweight PU Suede upper' which hugs the foot, the 'TPU moulded external heel counter' that secures the heel, and the adjustable 'vari-width lacing' system that allows for a customized fit.

What kind of traction does the outsole provide?

The trainers are equipped with a 'Durable rubber outsole' which is designed to be hard-wearing and provides great traction on various common surfaces, making them reliable for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too loose or too tight around the foot.

Utilize the vari-width lacing system. Adjust the tension of the laces across different sections of your foot. Loosen or tighten specific D-rings to achieve a customized, secure, and comfortable fit.

Feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged wear.

The trainers feature breathable mesh panels. Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking material. If wearing for extended periods in warm conditions, consider taking them off periodically to allow your feet to air out.

Foot slides forward inside the shoe during activity.

Check the tightness of your laces, particularly around the midfoot and ankle. The TPU moulded external heel counter is designed to hold your foot in place; ensure your heel is seated correctly against it. You can also verify that the removable EVA sockliner is properly positioned.

Loss of cushioning comfort over time.

The trainers come with a removable EVA Sockliner. While durable, sockliners can compress over extensive use. If cushioning significantly degrades, you may consider replacing the sockliner with a new one or an aftermarket insole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: Easy to wear for extended periods without feeling cumbersome.
  • Enhanced Breathability: Mesh panels prevent overheating and maintain foot comfort.
  • Excellent Cushioning: EVA midsole and sockliner offer superb comfort and shock absorption.
  • Secure and Supportive Fit: Features like the heel counter and vari-width lacing keep the foot stable.
  • Durable Traction: Rubber outsole ensures reliable grip for multi-purpose use.
  • Iconic Retro Style: A classic design first launched in the 80s, offering timeless appeal.

Cons

  • 'Wipe Clean Only' Care: Requires manual cleaning, which may be less convenient than machine-washable options.
  • Multi-purpose, Not Specialized: While versatile, it may not offer the hyper-specialized performance of shoes designed for specific intense sports.
  • PU Suede Material: While supportive, it may not have the exact feel or longevity of natural suede for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Hi-Tec Silver Shadow OG Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. The Nylon D-rings with vari-width lacing allow for immediate adjustment to achieve your preferred fit. Simply lace up the trainers, ensuring the tongue is centered and the padded collar is comfortable around your ankle. Tighten the laces progressively from the toe upwards until the shoe feels snug but not constrictive.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adult males, specifically in UK size 11. Their multi-purpose design makes them suitable for a wide range of activities including casual wear, walking, light running, and general fitness. The classic silver color and retro aesthetic complement various outfits.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and appearance of your Hi-Tec Silver Shadow OG Trainers:

  • Cleaning: The trainers are Wipe Clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and grime from the PU suede and mesh panels. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
  • Drying: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
