FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by track and wrestling shoes, these are designed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than high-performance running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the synthetic materials and the integrity of the adhesive. Manual cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What is the benefit of the AHARPLUS outsole?
AHARPLUS is an Asics material designed to be significantly more durable than standard rubber, helping the outsole resist wear and tear over time.
Is the material waterproof?
The upper is made of synthetic leather and mesh, which is not waterproof and may allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.
Can I replace the sockliner?
Yes, the OrthoLite X-40 sockliner is removable and can be swapped for personal orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner and clean it with mild soap and water, or replace it with a new aftermarket insole.
Dirt stuck in the mesh material
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh pores without applying excessive pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size for most users. When setting up your footwear, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to accommodate the structure of the synthetic leather overlays. To maintain the life of your Hypersync trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the outer synthetic leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the air mesh portions, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust or debris. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can compromise the adhesives and materials. If the sockliner becomes damp, remove it from the shoe to allow for faster, more thorough drying.
