FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These shoes are designed for cross-training and gym workouts, prioritizing stability. While they can handle short jogs, they are not optimized for long-distance running.

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

A wide fit is generally suitable for individuals whose feet feel cramped or experience pressure points in standard-width shoes. If you have naturally broad feet, this model might offer increased comfort.

Can I wear these casually?

While comfortable, their design is performance-oriented for training. For casual wear, consider other shoe types that prioritize cushioning and aesthetics for everyday use.

What is the benefit of the REPETITOR midsole?

The REPETITOR midsole is engineered to provide stability and responsive cushioning, supporting your feet during dynamic movements and heavy lifts.

How should I clean the textile upper?

Gently clean the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or machine washing.

What size equivalent does UK 12.5 represent?

This refers to the UK sizing standard for adult footwear. Specific conversion charts to US or EU sizes can be found on general footwear sizing guides.
