FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Ultrarun 5 comes in a regular fit. While the mesh upper offers some stretch, those with significantly wide feet may find them snug.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they are versatile enough for treadmill running and light gym activities, though the high stack height is better suited for forward-motion running than heavy lateral-movement exercises.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ultrarun 5 last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, gait, and weight.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam properties. We recommend hand cleaning only.
Do they provide arch support?
They feature a neutral design with an OrthoLite sockliner that provides basic support, suitable for runners with neutral arches.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping or loose fit
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique using the top eyelet to secure the ankle.
Orthotic insert movement
Ensure the OrthoLite sockliner is laid flat inside the shoe; if it shifts, remove it, clean the base, and re-insert carefully.
Material snagging
The mesh upper is durable but avoid running through dense brush or thorns to prevent micro-tears in the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ultrarun 5s last as long as possible, follow these care tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walking sessions before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run. If they get heavily soiled, hand wash with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Never submerge the shoes completely in water or use a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and warp the mesh upper.
- Lacing: Use the standard lace closure to secure a regular fit, ensuring even pressure across the bridge of your foot.
