FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally run true to size, though the Flyknit material creates a snug fit. If you prefer extra room, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can these be used for heavy gym training?
While they are excellent for cardio and light gym work, the soft foam is primarily designed for running and walking rather than heavy weightlifting.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and surface conditions.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if needed.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the Flyknit material is breathable and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feeling too tight
Try thinner socks or remove the insole temporarily during the break-in process to allow the material to stretch slightly.
Slippage in the heel area
Ensure the laces are securely tightened through all eyelets and verify that the molded heel counter is properly positioned against your heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing your preferred running socks when trying on the shoes to account for the snug nature of the Flyknit fabric.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleans, hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid the washing machine as it can compromise the structural integrity of the knit.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the foam to warp or the fabric to lose elasticity.
