FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Grid technology?

The Grid technology in these trainers is designed to provide a stable and cushioned ride, absorbing impact and enhancing comfort during your runs.

Are these shoes suitable for racing?

While they offer good comfort and protection, their retro design and focus on cushioning mean they are best suited for daily training rather than competitive racing, which might benefit from lighter, more responsive shoes.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size guide and try them on with the type of socks you typically run in. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip.

Can I wear these trainers for everyday casual use?

Yes, the classic retro design makes them suitable for casual wear in addition to running.

What does 'retro re-release' mean?

It means this is a modern reproduction of a classic shoe model from the early 2000s, retaining its original design elements and technology.

How do I clean the mesh uppers?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or machine washing.

What is the purpose of the reflective detailing?

The reflective details are designed to increase your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or night running.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning after several uses

The cushioning may naturally compress over time with regular use. If significantly reduced, consider replacing the insoles or the shoes if they are heavily worn.

Feet feel too warm during runs

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The mesh uppers are designed for breathability; if heat is still an issue, consider thinner socks or alternative models with enhanced ventilation if needed.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. The shoes are designed to mold to your foot shape over time. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using different lacing techniques for a more personalized fit.
