FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are best suited for light jogging and everyday wear. For marathon running, specialized shoes with advanced cushioning and support are generally recommended.

How do I clean the geometric pattern?

The entire shoe is machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. The geometric pattern is integrated into the sole and upper design and should withstand standard washing procedures.

What does 'M-Strike technology' do?

M-Strike technology is part of the geometric midsole design that encourages a smoother transition from the heel strike to the toe-off phase of your stride, promoting efficiency and natural momentum.

Can I replace the bungee laces if they wear out?

The bungee lacing system is integrated for convenience. While they are designed for durability, specific replacement parts for this exact system may not be readily available. However, the shoes can often accommodate standard shoelaces if desired.

What is the heel height and offset?

The trainers have a heel height of 1 1/2 inches and an 8mm offset, which is a moderate drop suitable for many types of athletic and casual activities.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet environments.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoes weigh approximately 8.8oz (250g) for a women's size 6, making them exceptionally lightweight for comfortable extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the tension of the bungee laces by pulling or loosening them at the knot or toggle. For a more permanent adjustment, you can re-tie the knot to a different position.

Shoes are not drying properly after washing

Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb excess moisture and speed up the drying process.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider cleaning the shoes and checking for any embedded debris that might affect the sole's flexibility.

Slight slippage during high-impact movements

While designed for a secure fit, the no-tie system may benefit from a tighter initial adjustment for very dynamic activities. Ensure the heel is properly seated in the shoe.
