FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for weightlifting and gym training, focusing on stability. While they can handle short distances, they are not optimized for long-distance running due to their firmer cushioning and structure.

How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?

The wide fit offers more volume in the forefoot. If you often find regular trainers too narrow, experience foot swelling during workouts, or have wider feet, this style should be comfortable. If you have narrow feet, they might feel too loose.

What is the REPETITOR midsole made of?

The REPETITOR midsole is engineered to provide a stable and responsive feel, offering firm cushioning that supports demanding training movements.

Can I wear these trainers for everyday casual use?

While they are comfortable, their design is specialized for training. For extended casual wear, you might find shoes with more flexibility and softer cushioning more suitable.

How do I clean the textile upper?

Gently clean the textile upper using a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cold water solution. Allow them to air dry completely.

What is the primary benefit of the Dropset Control series?

The Dropset Control series is engineered to provide a stable platform, crucial for lifting and maintaining form during intense training sessions. They minimize unnecessary foot movement.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size.

Given the wide fit, if you have narrow feet, consider using thicker socks or inserting additional insoles for a snugger feel. If the issue persists, consult the retailer for exchange options.

Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris, mud, or excessive dust. Gently brush the sole with a stiff brush.

Midsole feels too firm for comfort.

The firmness is designed for stability. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adapt. Wearing thicker socks can also provide a slightly softer feel.
