FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for weightlifting and gym-based training. While they offer support for dynamic movements, they are not optimized for long-distance running due to their firm, stable construction.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Air dry completely.

What is the benefit of the TPU midfoot torsion system?

The TPU torsion system provides enhanced midfoot stability, supporting dynamic movements and helping to prevent unwanted twisting during exercises.

Is the wide fit suitable for all foot types?

The wide fit is designed to offer a more secure and stable base, particularly beneficial for lifting. It should accommodate a broader range of foot shapes than a standard fit, but individual comfort may vary.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

While possible, these trainers are built for performance during workouts. Their firm structure might be less comfortable for extended casual wear compared to lifestyle or running shoes.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of rubber, providing durable traction for gym environments.

How does the midsole contribute to performance?

The stable midsole is engineered to provide a grounded feel, enhancing stability and allowing for better power transfer during heavy lifts.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are not over-tightened. If the width is the issue, consider if this model's wide fit meets your needs. Break-in period may be required.

Slipping during lifts

Check the cleanliness of the outsole and the gym floor. Ensure laces are securely tied. If the issue persists on specific surfaces, use caution.

Discomfort during lateral movements

Verify laces are tied appropriately to secure the midfoot. The TPU torsion system is designed for support; ensure it aligns with your movement needs.

Mesh upper feels restrictive

Allow for a break-in period. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide comfort without excessive pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Ideal for weightlifting, powerlifting, cross-training, and gym-based functional fitness routines. They are compatible with standard gym flooring. Not recommended for use on slick or wet surfaces without caution due to their specialized traction.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and grime from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Lining: If the insoles are removable, take them out and air them separately to prevent odor buildup.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
