FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Dreamstrike midsole?
The Dreamstrike midsole provides a combination of soft cushioning to absorb impact and responsiveness for an energetic feel during your runs.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These trainers have a regular fit. While the textile upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find a more specific wide-fit model more comfortable.
How often should I replace my Supernova Glide trainers?
Running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when cushioning feels significantly diminished, and outsole tread shows wear. This can vary based on running style and terrain.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Supernova Glide is primarily designed for road running. The rubber outsole offers some grip, making them suitable for light trails or well-maintained paths, but they lack the aggressive tread of dedicated trail shoes.
What does 'midsole drop' mean?
Midsole drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. An 8mm drop indicates a moderate offset, suitable for many runners but differing from lower or zero-drop shoes.
How do I clean the reflective details?
Clean the reflective details gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are wearing the same type of socks you would typically run in. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size larger or smaller, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but grip can be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole of any debris that might be affecting contact. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution.
Discomfort after a few runs
Break-in periods can vary. Continue running short distances to allow the shoes to adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, check your lacing technique or consider if the shoe's drop and cushioning are suitable for your biomechanics.
