FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Torsion System offers some support for dynamic movements, these trainers are primarily designed for stability during weightlifting and strength training. They may not provide sufficient cushioning or support for long-distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The product information states they are true to size and offer a standard fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. You can also compare your foot measurement to standard sizing charts if unsure.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It is best to wipe them clean with a damp cloth to avoid damaging the materials and construction.
What makes the midsole stable?
The stable midsole, combined with the REPETITOR technology, is engineered to provide a solid and unwavering platform, reducing unnecessary movement during lifts.
Is the wide fit suitable for everyone?
The wide fit is designed to offer a more secure and comfortable base, particularly beneficial for strength training. If you have a very narrow foot, you might find them less snug, although the lacing system allows for adjustment.
What is the Torsion System?
The Torsion System is a technology integrated into the midsole that provides adaptive support and allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, ensuring stability during dynamic activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them to a more comfortable tension. Ensure you have ordered your true size; these trainers are designed for a standard fit.
Lack of grip on gym floor
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. If the issue persists, the floor surface may be unsuitable or worn.
Discomfort during dynamic movements
Verify the laces are adequately tightened to provide midfoot support. The Torsion System is designed to adapt, but proper lacing is key.
