FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the Wave Inspire series is specifically designed for stability, which helps manage the excess inward roll often associated with flat feet.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

They are suitable for general gym work and treadmill running, though they are optimized primarily for forward-motion running.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Always measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, and ensure you have enough room for toe splay.

Are they waterproof?

The materials used are breathable, which means they are not waterproof and may let in water during heavy rain.

How often should I replace these shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 400 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a window lacing pattern to relieve pressure on the midfoot.

Reduced cushioning responsiveness

This is a sign of midsole compression fatigue; if you have surpassed 400 miles, it is likely time to replace the footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Wave Inspire 18 trainers, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the structural foam. If the shoes become dirty, gently scrub the upper with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. When sizing, ensure there is roughly a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate foot swelling during exercise. Replace your trainers every 400 to 500 miles to maintain the effectiveness of the cushioning and support systems.
