Product Information
Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ProMorph trainers offer enduring cushion suitable for long distances like marathons, especially if your race includes varied terrain. However, for pure road marathons, a shoe specifically designed for maximum road cushioning might be preferred.
Can I wear these for hiking?
Yes, the ProMorph trainers are excellent for light hiking and general outdoor activities due to their adaptable traction and comfortable cushioning. For technical or very rugged trails, a dedicated hiking boot may offer more support and protection.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
After removing loose dirt with a brush, use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Allow them to air dry thoroughly.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram® outsole?
The specialized Vibram® outsole provides adaptable and reliable traction across a variety of surfaces, ensuring stability whether you are running on pavement, gravel, or dirt trails.
Is the cushioning foam durable?
Yes, the ProMorph trainers feature premium FloatPro+™ midsole foam, engineered for enduring cushion and durability, maintaining comfort over many miles.
What makes these shoes different from road-only running shoes?
The key difference is the specialized Vibram® outsole designed for multi-terrain grip and the overall construction that balances road comfort with trail-ready durability and traction.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Vibram® outsole offers adaptable traction, extremely slick conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For enhanced grip in wet conditions, consider surfaces specifically designed for wet traction.
Discomfort during initial wear
New running shoes may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter distances initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning over time
The FloatPro+™ midsole is designed for enduring cushion, but like all foams, it will eventually compress with heavy use. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.
