FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort during everyday activities. They are not recommended for high-impact sports like running, which require specialized footwear for support and cushioning.

How do I adjust the fit if the elastic laces are too loose?

The elastic laces are designed for a slip-on fit and are not meant to be adjusted like traditional laces. If the fit is too loose, ensure your foot is fully seated in the shoe. For a more secure feel, consider lacing techniques that can be applied to elastic laces, or if the looseness is significant, this model might not be the best fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand-wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, and always air dry.

What does 'HandsFree step-in technology' mean?

This feature allows you to easily slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on. The design of the heel and collar facilitates a quick and effortless entry.

Is the wide fit suitable for everyone?

The wide fit is designed to provide more room for individuals who find standard shoe widths restrictive. It offers enhanced comfort for wider feet but may feel less snug on narrower feet.

How do I clean the CLOUDFOAM midsole?

The midsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub any dirt away and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight.

While the laces are elastic, try adjusting how you slip your foot in. For a tighter feel, ensure your heel is fully seated. For a looser feel, try not to pull the elastic too taut when stepping in. If the fit is persistently uncomfortable due to the elastic tension, consider other lacing options if possible or a different model.

Difficulty stepping in.

Ensure you are using the HandsFree step-in technology correctly by placing your heel firmly into the back of the shoe. You may need to slightly pull back the elastic collar to help your foot slide in smoothly.

The textile upper appears dirty.

Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Blot with a clean, wet cloth to rinse and allow to air dry.
