FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The LIGHTSHIFT 2.0 trainers are designed for everyday style and comfort, not for performance running. The Lightmotion midsole provides cushioning for walking and light activity, but they lack the specialized support and responsiveness required for serious running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and test on a small area first. Avoid soaking the suede or using water excessively.
What is the 'Cold Cement' construction?
Cold cement construction is a method of attaching the sole to the upper of the shoe using adhesives at room temperature. It's known for creating a durable and flexible bond.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. This can damage the materials, especially the suede overlays and the cushioning technology.
How do I get the best fit?
Ensure the shoe fits snugly but comfortably without pinching. Lace them up using the provided eyelets, adjusting the tightness to your preference. The regular fit is designed for standard foot shapes.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and breathability, consider wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks or everyday cotton socks. The textile sockliner inside the shoe also contributes to comfort.
Are there other color options available for the LIGHTSHIFT 2.0 series?
Yes, the LIGHTSHIFT 2.0 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for other available options, such as grey/white or other combinations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to break in and conform to your feet.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Double-knotting may provide extra security. Consider replacing the laces with a textured or grippier pair if the issue persists.
Discomfort in the arch area
The LIGHTMOTION midsole offers a specific type of support. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
Suede showing signs of wear or stains
Address stains immediately with appropriate suede cleaning products. For general maintenance, use a suede brush regularly to lift the nap and remove surface dirt.
