Full details

FAQs

What type of running are these trainers best suited for?

The 247 Arc-1 Runners are predominantly engineered for 5-10k runs and active lifestyle wear. They offer good cushioning and support for daily training.

How should I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to take the next size up if you find yourself between sizes to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the purpose of the anti-microbial insock?

The anti-microbial insock helps to maintain a fresh feel inside the shoe and reduce odor, making them feel 'box fresh' with every wear.

What comes with the trainers?

The trainers come with a purpose-built 247 Branded Nylon Dust Bag, which features an internal divider for extra protection.

Are these suitable for trail running?

While the outsole provides traction, these trainers are primarily designed for road running and general active wear. For technical trails, a shoe with a more aggressive tread pattern may be more appropriate.

How do I care for the TPU overlay and heel counter?

These components are durable. Clean them gently with a damp cloth when necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider the recommendation to size up if you are between sizes.

Reduced cushioning over time

The EVA midsole may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maximize lifespan.

Traction is insufficient on wet surfaces

The minimalist outsole is designed for general use. For wet or technical conditions, consider a more specialized trail running shoe.

Discomfort around the heel

Ensure the laces are properly tightened to utilize the heel collar and TPU counter for support. Break-in period may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult, unisex wear, suitable for UK sizes. The primary use case is running (5-10k) and general active lifestyle.

Care: To maintain the condition of your 247 Arc-1 Runners:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
