FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth rather than putting them in a washing machine to protect the midsole technology.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Glide-Step Vortex is optimized for road and pavement surfaces; it may lack the grip and debris protection required for rugged trails.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the Slip-ins technology allows you to step in without adjusting the laces once they are set to your preferred fit.
What is the primary benefit of the M-Strike tech?
M-Strike technology promotes a more efficient gait by encouraging a smooth transition from landing to toe-off.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some stretch, providing a flexible fit for many foot shapes, though individual comfort may vary.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, the interior is designed for comfort, but using thin athletic socks is recommended to prevent moisture buildup.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping during movement
Ensure your foot is fully pushed into the Heel Pillow and verify that your size is correct; adjust the lace tension slightly if needed.
Mesh upper collecting dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the mesh surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before your first run; once set, the slip-in design maintains this tension for future use. For care, wipe down the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth if exposed to dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying at high temperatures to preserve the structural integrity of the cushioning. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the Heel Pillow.
