What type of runner is this shoe best for?
It is best suited for neutral runners looking for a lightweight, highly cushioned, and responsive shoe for road running.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

How should I clean my Superblast 3 trainers?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort during the first few runs
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage as they adapt to your foot.
Reduced energy return over time
Cushioning foams can degrade with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in responsiveness.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The road-specific outsole offers good grip on dry pavement, but traction may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
