FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FloatZig 2 trainers?
The primary benefit is their 'springy' feel, achieved through Superfloat+ cushioning and a responsive carbon rubber outsole, providing an energetic and smooth ride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the combination of cushioning and responsiveness makes them suitable for longer runs, including marathons, provided they fit your individual needs and biomechanics.
How do I know if the sizing is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The fit should be snug around the heel and midfoot, with room for the toes to wiggle.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the expected lifespan of the FloatZig 2 trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on usage, running surface, and runner's weight, but generally, running shoes are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km).
Are these trainers good for beginners?
Yes, the comfortable cushioning and supportive feel make them a good option for beginner runners, especially those looking for a shoe that feels energetic.
What surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
They are best suited for road running, treadmills, and light, well-groomed trails due to their cushioning and tread pattern.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during stride
This could be due to the carbon rubber outsole. Ensure there is no debris caught in the tread. If the noise persists, it might be a manufacturing defect; contact customer support.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. Try different lacing techniques or consider wearing thicker running socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The midsole cushioning may have compressed over time with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have significantly exceeded their expected lifespan (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the carbon rubber offers good traction, wet conditions can reduce grip for any shoe. Run with caution on wet surfaces and ensure the outsole tread is clear of debris.
