FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?
These are designed for daily running and training; while comfortable, specific marathon-distance needs may vary by user.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the specialized midsole and Heel Pillow.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the Slip-ins design allows you to step in once the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension.
Is the sole stiff?
The Glide-Step technology is designed to be flexible and promote a rolling motion rather than being rigid.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from an engineered mesh for optimal breathability and flexibility.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper provides some stretch, though fit can vary by foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Adjust the laces to ensure a tighter lockdown across the midfoot area.
Mesh upper accumulating dust
Use a soft-bristled dry brush to gently sweep away particles after every run.
Midsole feeling less responsive
Ensure the shoes are rotated with another pair to allow the foam to fully decompress between uses.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, adjust the laces to your desired tension upon your first wear. Because of the Hands Free design, avoid using a shoehorn, which could damage the internal Heel Pillow construction.
Regarding care, clean the engineered mesh upper using a soft brush to remove dust or dirt. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild detergent with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes or putting them through a heavy-duty washing machine cycle to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
