Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them snug. Checking specific width options or trying them on is recommended.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry.
Can I replace the laces?
These trainers feature fixed stretch laces for a slip-on design and are not intended to be replaced. Adjustments are not possible.
What is the primary benefit of the M-Strike® technology?
M-Strike® technology is designed to promote a more efficient stride by optimizing the point of foot-strike, reducing impact and improving momentum.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means the shoes are constructed without using any animal-derived materials or by-products.
How does the Glide-Step® midsole differ from standard cushioning?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smoother transition through the stride and contributes to a lighter overall feel compared to some traditional cushioning systems.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during lateral movements.
These trainers are optimized for forward motion. For activities requiring significant lateral support, consider a cross-training shoe.
Tread shows premature wear.
Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (road, treadmill). Uneven terrain or abrasive surfaces can accelerate outsole wear.
Insole feels less cushioned over time.
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole may require cleaning to restore its properties. If wear is evident, consider replacing the insole.
