FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Dreamstrike midsole?
The Dreamstrike midsole is engineered to provide a balance of soft cushioning for impact absorption and responsive energy return for a more dynamic stride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the cushioning and comfort make them suitable for marathon distances, particularly for runners who prefer a balanced feel over maximal cushioning.
How do I know if the 8mm midsole drop is right for me?
An 8mm drop is considered moderate and is generally suitable for neutral runners. If you experience discomfort with lower or higher drops, it's advisable to consult a running specialist.
Can I wear these shoes for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle very light, well-groomed trails, they lack the aggressive traction and protective features of dedicated trail running shoes.
How should I clean my Supernova Glide trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely and avoid machine washing or direct heat.
What does 'reflective details' mean for these shoes?
The shoes incorporate materials or elements that reflect light. This is a safety feature that enhances your visibility to others, such as car headlights, when running in low-light conditions.
What is the weight of the Supernova Glide trainers?
The approximate weight is 282 grams, which is a moderate weight suitable for daily training.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Adjust lacing to reduce pressure points.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
The midsole cushioning naturally degrades over time. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant loss of support.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal tread contact.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Comfortable and responsive cushioning for daily runs.
- Breathable upper material for good ventilation.
- Durable rubber outsole for consistent grip.
- Reflective elements enhance safety in low light.
- Balanced midsole drop suitable for a wide range of runners.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure yet comfortable fit before your first run. A proper lacing technique can significantly improve comfort and support.
Compatibility:
- Running Surfaces: Best suited for roads, sidewalks, treadmills, and light gravel paths.
- Foot Type: Ideal for runners with a neutral pronation. Those with significant overpronation or supination might benefit from specialized support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
- Laundering: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the trainers. This can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning of the shoe.
