FAQs
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While these are excellent trainers for gym-based workouts and sprints, they are optimized for versatility; check if your specific running gait requires more specialized support.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth to avoid damaging the specialized cushioning and mesh materials.
What does the 'recovery mode' do?
Recovery mode collapses the heel so you can wear the shoe like a slide, providing a more relaxed fit for casual wear.
How do I adjust the fit?
Use the integrated speed lace system to tighten or loosen the fit according to your preference for lockdown or comfort.
Are they suitable for outdoor surfaces?
Yes, the durable rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on both indoor gym floors and various outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels unstable during heavy lifting.
Ensure the convertible heel is fully pushed into the 'train mode' position and locked securely before starting your exercise.
Laces feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the speed lace closure tension while the shoe is on your foot to balance security and comfort across the instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your SlipSpeed Trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Use the speed lace system to find your ideal tension. Ensure the asymmetrical tongue is centered before tightening to prevent pressure points.
- Mode Switching: When converting the heel, ensure it is fully engaged in either 'train' or 'recovery' position to maintain proper support.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. For the upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that might degrade the monofilament mesh.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the convertible heel and the integrity of the cushioning foam.
