FAQs

What makes the Futurecraft 4D cushioning unique?

The 4D midsole is created using digital light synthesis, forming a precisely engineered lattice structure that offers unparalleled support and energy return tailored to the demands of running.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Primeknit upper offers a flexible, adaptable fit. While it can accommodate some variations, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides carefully.

How durable is the Continental rubber outsole?

The Continental rubber outsole is highly durable and provides excellent grip, similar to that found in high-performance tires, ensuring longevity and reliable traction.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow them to air dry naturally to maintain the integrity of the materials and cushioning.

What is the main benefit of the Primeknit upper?

The Primeknit upper provides a seamless, sock-like fit that adapts to your foot's shape, offering breathability and a comfortable, distraction-free feel.

How does the Futurecraft 4D compare to traditional EVA foam cushioning?

Futurecraft 4D offers more precise, zoned cushioning and energy return compared to the more uniform cushioning of traditional EVA foam. It's engineered for specific performance benefits.

What is the intended use for these trainers?

These trainers are primarily designed for running, offering comfort and performance for daily runs, training sessions, and even longer distances. They are also suitable for casual wear due to their sleek design.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

The 4D cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage as your feet adjust.

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Primeknit upper is designed for a snug fit; adjust lacing if necessary. If persistently uncomfortable, consider a different size or width.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

While the Continental rubber offers good grip, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.

Primeknit upper shows signs of wear

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid vigorous scrubbing. Do not expose to harsh chemicals.
