FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers a degree of flexibility, but these are generally designed for a standard foot width. If you have significantly wide feet, trying them on or checking reviews specific to fit may be beneficial.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
How long does the Boost cushioning typically last?
Boost cushioning is known for its durability and resistance to temperature changes. While it can degrade over hundreds of miles, many users report consistent performance for over 500 miles.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Primeknit and textile upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider a different shoe model with water-resistant properties.
What is the difference between Ultra Boost Light and standard Ultra Boost?
The 'Light' version emphasizes reduced weight through updated materials and construction, aiming for a faster, more responsive feel compared to the standard Ultra Boost, which may offer slightly more cushioning.
What does 'Triple Black' mean?
'Triple Black' refers to the color scheme where all components of the shoe—upper, midsole, outsole, and laces—are black.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. Primeknit can stretch slightly with wear.
Reduced energy return over time
Ensure the shoes are clean. While Boost technology is durable, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions can affect performance. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain optimal function.
Upper material feels abrasive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. The Primeknit material is designed to be snug; socks provide a barrier against potential rubbing.
