FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they handle sprints and short agility bursts well, the stiff heel is optimized for lifting, not long-distance road running.

Does the wide fit mean I should size down?

Not necessarily. The length is standard, so stick to your usual UK size unless you historically require narrow-specific footwear.

Can these be washed in a machine?

It is not recommended, as machine agitation and heat can damage the foam and the structure of the Cordura nylon.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed from durable, high-performance Cordura nylon.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for gym use and typically does not mark indoor surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Heel slipping during lifting

Use the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to pull the heel back more securely into the molded heel counter.

Outsole loses grip

Clean the bottom of the rubber outsole with a brush and water to remove dust or debris collected from gym floors.

Shoe feels too wide

Insert a thicker aftermarket insole or wear athletic compression socks to reduce internal volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heel stability for weight training
  • Durable Cordura nylon construction
  • Strong ground grip provided by Traxion outsole
  • Versatile design suitable for gym and casual use
  • Wide fit accommodates broader foot shapes

Cons

  • Wide fit may feel loose for narrow-footed users
  • Stiffer heel may feel less cushioned for long-distance running
  • Blue colorway may be difficult to pair with certain athletic gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard lace-up setup. To ensure the best performance, tighten the laces specifically across the midfoot to lock your heel against the stable foam structure.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the exterior by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water.
  • Let air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the foam composition.
  • For heavy odors, remove the sockliner and sprinkle with baking soda overnight.
  • Because they feature a wide fit, if you find your foot sliding during movement, consider switching to a slightly thicker performance sock.
