FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Wave Prophecy series originated as a technical performance line, this specific reissue is tailored toward Sportstyle and casual use, though they provide excellent support for light movement.
What does the Infinity Wave construction do?
The Infinity Wave is a mechanical cushioning system that provides stability and energy return by dissipating impact force through its wave-like structure rather than relying solely on foam.
How should I clean the Gold finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the metallic finish of the material.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing, though the structural nature of the Prophecy design provides a snug, secure fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound during initial use
This is often caused by trapped air or tension in the Infinity Wave architecture; it typically subsides after a short break-in period as the components settle.
Material stiffness
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow natural foot flexion and wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to let the materials soften.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Wave Prophecy 1 trainers, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme heat, which can damage the structural integrity of the Infinity Wave sole. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush, then wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight. To maintain shape, store the shoes in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree if not wearing them for extended periods. When sizing, note that these models follow standard adult UK sizing; if you are between sizes, consider the specific material composition—such as leather variants—which may provide less stretch over time.
