FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. The outsole provides good traction on pavement, but may not offer sufficient grip or protection for uneven trail surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that your heel feels secure without slipping. Trying them on with your preferred running socks is recommended.
Can I replace the Arch Fit® insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics or alternative insoles for personalized support.
How often should I wash my Aero Pulse trainers?
Washing is recommended only when necessary to maintain the shoe's integrity and performance. Follow the machine washing instructions carefully.
What does 'vegan' mean in the context of these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe.
Is the APMA Seal of Acceptance relevant for all users?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance indicates that the shoe has been reviewed by the American Podiatric Medical Association and found to be beneficial for foot health and suitable for comfortable walking. It signifies good design for general foot wellness.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
Goodyear® outsoles are known for their durability and resistance to wear, providing long-lasting traction and performance for road running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, try wearing different sock thicknesses. The removable Arch Fit® insole can be replaced with a thinner or thicker one for minor adjustments.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
The ECO FLIGHT™ cushioning may take a few runs to break in. If performance degrades significantly over time, consider replacing the Arch Fit® insoles as they can wear down.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
While the Goodyear® outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can still be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slick conditions, exercise extra caution.
Hands Free Slip-ins® mechanism feels stiff.
The heel counter is designed to be firm for a locked-in feel. With regular use, the material will adapt to your foot shape. Avoid forcing the shoe on; use the heel tab.
