FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the N-ergy cushioning?

The N-ergy cushioning in the EVA foam midsole is designed to protect against impact, providing a comfortable and responsive feel with every step.

Are these trainers suitable for professional running?

While inspired by running shoes and offering good cushioning, the 1906R Brighton Grey is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For professional athletic performance, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the patent leather-like heel accents?

Gently wipe these areas with a slightly damp, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather may be used sparingly.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from polyester mesh, offering breathability and a lightweight feel, complemented by synthetic overlays for structure.

What is the meaning of the 'Brighton Grey' colorway?

'Brighton Grey' refers to the specific grayscale palette used, incorporating shades of black, steel, and Brighton Grey, along with the characteristic gray 'N' logo.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While marketed towards men and featuring men's sizing, the unisex design and available sizes mean they can be worn by anyone who finds a suitable fit.

What is the grip like on the outsole?

The Ndurance rubber outsole features a collection of pods and traction patterns designed to provide reliable grip on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit

Ensure correct size is selected. If slightly tight, wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a short period.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue area. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Discoloration on synthetic overlays

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. For patent leather-like accents, use a specialized patent leather cleaner if needed.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The N-ergy cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consistent cleaning and proper storage can help maintain cushioning properties.
