No, they feature a water-repellent finish on the mesh upper, which is designed to shed light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are not intended for heavy downpours or submersion.

These shoes are ideal for everyday running, short to medium distance training, and general everyday wear. Their comfort and responsiveness make them versatile for active lifestyles.

For the textile and synthetic upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. The outsole can be scrubbed with a brush. Always air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Helion superfoam is a dual-density cushioning technology that provides a balance of soft landings and powerful take-offs. It's designed to offer superior impact absorption and responsive energy return for a comfortable and efficient stride.

The Speedboard acts as a propulsion plate, storing energy from your foot's landing and then releasing it to propel you forward. This results in a more responsive and energetic ride, enhancing your running efficiency.

The sock-like, bootie construction provides a snug, adaptive, and comfortable fit that wraps around your foot like a sock. This minimizes internal movement and offers a plush, seamless step-in experience.

Yes, their dual-density Helion superfoam midsole provides excellent cushioning, making them very comfortable for walking long distances or standing for extended periods, in addition to running.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running or athletic socks. Check the lacing; try loosening or tightening certain sections. Allow for a short 'break-in' period, as the sock-like construction will adapt to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.

Inspect the rubber outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the grooves if necessary. While the outsole offers reliable grip, extreme conditions or highly worn soles can reduce traction. Adjust your stride on slick surfaces.

The finish is designed to repel light moisture, not to be fully waterproof. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt can compromise the water-repellency. For heavy rain or puddles, water may still penetrate. Consider a waterproof overshoe for extreme wet conditions.

After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. You can also use odor-absorbing sachets or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.

Try a different lacing knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot, which offers better security. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the updated cage construction for optimal hold.
