FAQs
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
The APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) Seal of Acceptance is granted to products that have been found to be safe and beneficial for foot health by a committee of podiatrists.
How do I know if the Arch Fit® insole is right for me?
The Arch Fit® system is designed to provide enhanced support for the arch, which can reduce fatigue and improve alignment. If you experience arch discomfort or seek better stability, it may be beneficial. It is removable if you prefer to use your own insoles.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While the HYPER BURST ICE™ cushioning and carbon-infused H-plate offer excellent energy return suitable for performance, they are primarily marketed for versatile daily running. For ultra-marathon distances, you might consider shoes with even more specialized cushioning.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction. It is made from high-quality rubber compounds to withstand regular wear and tear from running.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to moderately wet conditions, but not for heavy rain or puddles.
What is the purpose of the carbon-infused H-plate?
The carbon-infused H-plate is integrated into the midsole to enhance energy return and provide a propulsive feel with each step, contributing to a more efficient stride.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support. This can vary based on your running style and frequency.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning feel
Ensure the HYPER BURST ICE™ cushioning is not compressed from prolonged storage. If the shoe is new, allow for a break-in period. Check that the Arch Fit® insole is correctly positioned.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers good traction, it is not designed for extreme wet conditions. Reduce speed and stride carefully on wet or slippery surfaces.
Arch discomfort
The Arch Fit® insole provides significant support. If discomfort persists after the break-in period, try removing the insole and using your own orthotics, or consult a footwear specialist.
Upper material feels stiff
The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable and flexible. If it feels stiff, it may require a short break-in period. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could stiffen the material.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn stains on the engineered mesh, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by gentle wiping with a clean cloth.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the Goodyear® Performance Outsole. A damp cloth can be used for a deeper clean.
- Insole Care: The Arch Fit® insole can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Ensure it is completely air-dried before reinserting.
- Drying: Never machine wash or machine dry. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
