FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While the Nitro technology offers excellent cushioning, for competitive marathon running, especially for elite athletes, consider if these meet your specific performance needs for that distance. They are generally well-suited for recreational marathoners or longer training runs.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without being constrictive.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the Nitro technology, the knit upper, and the reflective detailing. Hand wash with mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoes have a flat heel height, typically measured between 1 to 3 cm, indicating a low drop suitable for a natural stride.
Are the reflective elements durable?
The reflective detailing is designed to be durable for normal use and cleaning. However, avoid abrasive cleaning methods directly on the reflective surfaces to maintain their effectiveness.
Can these be used for trail running?
These trainers are best suited for road running, track, and general fitness activities. The lightweight knit upper and lack of aggressive tread pattern make them less ideal for technical or muddy trail conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new knit shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are not over-tightened. Consider if the size is correct for your foot width.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The Nitro technology is designed for longevity, but like all cushioning, it can diminish with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended use for high-mileage running if peak performance is critical. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Reflective details appear to be fading
Avoid excessive scrubbing of the reflective areas during cleaning. Exposure to strong chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight can also affect reflectivity. Gently clean the area with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply untie the laces, put them on, and adjust for a comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly to avoid restricting circulation.
Compatibility: The EA7 Nitro Wave trainers are designed for a wide range of athletic and casual activities. They are compatible with most athletic socks and are suitable for use on roads, treadmills, and general gym flooring. They are not specifically designed for trail running or extreme outdoor conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A shoe bag can help protect them from dust.
