FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can handle occasional pavement, the waffle outsole is optimized for track and cross-country surfaces. For high-mileage road running, a shoe with more cushioning is recommended.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth dipped in a mild soapy solution and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard athletic sizing, though the soft mesh upper allows for some flexibility in fit.
Can I use these for mud racing?
Yes, the waffle pattern is specifically designed to provide traction on softer, uneven terrains like mud and grass.
What is the primary benefit of the waffle outsole?
The primary benefit is improved multi-directional grip on inconsistent surfaces common in track and field and cross-country settings.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole lugs are free from packed mud or debris that can obstruct the traction pattern.
Upper material feeling loose
Adjust the lacing system to provide a tighter lockdown, ensuring the stretchy mesh material is properly tensioned across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm your size according to your standard athletic footwear preference, as the mesh upper is designed to be accommodating. When using these shoes, ensure your laces are tightened securely to take advantage of the mesh upper's stability. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from direct high heat, which can damage the adhesive and upper materials. After muddy cross-country runs, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. If they become heavily soiled, use a soft brush and mild soap to gently clean the outsole and mesh, avoiding a washing machine to maintain the integrity of the foam and fabric.
