FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
These trainers are optimized for training, HIIT, and gym use. While they handle short warm-up runs, they are not intended for long-distance road running.
How do I determine if the size 8.5 is right for me?
The Charged Edge follows standard UK sizing. Ensure there is approximately a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliner is removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or if you need to wash the liner separately.
How should I clean the leather and synthetic upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
What is the primary benefit of the 8mm offset?
The 8mm offset provides a moderate heel-to-toe drop, which helps stabilize the foot for lifting while remaining versatile for agility work.
Troubleshooting
Slippage inside the shoe during intense lateral moves
Ensure the laces are tightened using the eyelets properly to lock the heel in place, or consider a runner's knot.
Reduced traction on dusty gym floors
Use a damp towel to wipe the rubber outsole clean, removing dust and debris that can accumulate in the tread pattern.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent responsiveness for explosive movements

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the midfoot without restricting blood flow. Compatibility is best suited for indoor training, court sports, and gym-based strength programs.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth after sweaty workouts to prevent salt buildup.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally; avoid placing them near heat sources which can damage the foam and leather.
- Remove the Ortholite sockliner periodically to let it air out, as it absorbs significant moisture during training.
- Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove debris that could reduce traction.
