FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer a bit of extra room for thicker socks, consider ordering a half-size up.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they feature 2007 performance technology, they are better suited for casual wear and walking than modern high-mileage racing shoes.
Is the material waterproof?
The upper is made from standard breathable synthetic and mesh materials, so it is not waterproof.
How do I best clean the black upper?
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust. For mud, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dry away from direct sunlight.
What does 'unisex' mean for the fit?
The shoe is built on a neutral last that accommodates various foot widths, making it suitable for both men and women provided the correct UK size is selected.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The Progrid system is designed for support; allow for a 10-15 mile break-in period to let the materials conform to your foot strike.
Laces coming undone
Use a double knot or a 'runner's loop' to secure the laces, as the provided laces are designed for durability over high-stretch elasticity.
Pros and Cons

- Heritage aesthetic may not appeal to fans of ultra-sleek modern designs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK sizing using the wide range of available options from 4.5 to 11. As these are unisex trainers, ensure you check the conversion if you are accustomed to gender-specific sizing conventions. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from direct, high-heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the foam. Clean them using a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents in the sole unit.
