FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The trainers feature an athletic mesh upper and fixed stretch laces, which offer some adaptability. However, for very wide feet, the fit might feel snug. Trying them on is the best way to determine suitability.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles can typically be removed and replaced with other compatible insoles if desired for a different feel or support.

What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?

A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the trainers.

How often should I wash my trainers?

Machine wash only when necessary to maintain the integrity of the materials. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning and upper materials.

What is the primary benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?

The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to create a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, contributing to a more fluid and efficient stride.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers feature an athletic mesh upper, which is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

While the stretch laces offer some flexibility, ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If possible, try them on before purchase. For minor tightness, wearing them for short periods can help them conform to your foot.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole and ULTRA LIGHT midsole are designed for durability, but performance may gradually decrease with heavy use. Consider cleaning the insoles as per care instructions. If significant degradation occurs, replacement insoles may be an option.

Odors developing

Ensure the trainers are aired out after each use. If odors persist, the machine washable nature allows for cleaning. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and allow to air dry fully. Baking soda can also be used inside the shoes when not in use to absorb odors.
