FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Energy Foam midsole provides comfort and responsiveness suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who transition between road and trail.

How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?

The GORE-TEX membrane is integrated into the shoe lining. Clean the exterior as per the care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the membrane's properties.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

The GORE-TEX membrane offers breathability, but in very high temperatures, some runners may find them warmer than non-waterproof shoes. They are optimized for comfort across a range of conditions, including wet weather.

What is the main advantage of the QuickLACE system?

The QuickLACE system allows for fast, one-pull tightening and loosening of the laces, providing a secure and convenient fit that can be adjusted on the go.

How durable is the outsole on pavement?

The outsole is designed for adaptive grip across multiple surfaces. While durable, prolonged heavy use on abrasive surfaces like asphalt may show wear faster than on softer trails.

What terrain is this shoe best suited for?

These trainers are best suited for mixed terrain, offering good performance on asphalt, gravel paths, and light to moderate trails.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the QuickLACE system for a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists, the sizing may not be ideal; consider trying a different size.

Water ingress despite GORE-TEX

Ensure laces are properly tightened and the tongue is sealed. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the membrane is compromised, it may need replacement.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole of any embedded debris. Note that while the grip is adaptive, extreme conditions like deep mud or ice may require specialized footwear.

Laces won't tighten securely

Check the QuickLACE mechanism for any blockages or damage. Ensure the knot is properly secured after tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent comfort and bounce from Energy Foam.
  • Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane.
  • Versatile grip for mixed terrain.
  • Easy and quick lacing system.
  • Lightweight construction for agility.

Cons

  • Specific fit may vary, recommending an in-person try-on.
  • Grip might be less specialized on extremely muddy or rocky technical trails.
  • Waterproof membrane can sometimes reduce maximum breathability in very hot conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. Ensure you have the correct UK size. The QuickLACE system is ready to use out of the box; adjust the tension by pulling or loosening the laces as needed.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male runners. They are compatible with various running surfaces including asphalt, gravel, and light to moderate trails. The GORE-TEX membrane provides compatibility with wet weather conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. 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 and the GORE-TEX membrane.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
