FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While the materials are durable, we recommend manual cleaning with a soft cloth to protect the integrity of the specialized Heel Pillow and cushioning components.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
The Glide-Step Vortex is designed for running, but its primary strengths are comfort and efficiency; it is best suited for daily training and moderate distances.
Do I have to tie the laces?
The laces are adjustable, but the Hands Free Slip-ins technology is designed to let you slide your feet in once you have set your preferred comfort tension.
What is M-Strike technology?
It is a design feature that promotes a mid-foot strike, helping to optimize stride efficiency and provide a smoother transition from heel to toe.
Are they suitable for gym use?
Yes, the responsive ULTRA LIGHT cushioning and stable base make them excellent for a variety of gym workouts and treadmill running.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels loose when walking
Adjust the laces slightly to secure the fit, or ensure the heel is pressed fully into the Heel Pillow during the initial step-in motion.
Mesh upper is showing dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry mud or dust, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap.

- Breathable mesh keeps feet cool during runs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the engineered mesh upper provides a forgiving, adaptive fit. While the shoes feature adjustable laces, they are designed to function primarily as slip-ins, so avoid overtightening them if you intend to use the hands-free feature frequently.
For maintenance, it is recommended to spot clean the mesh upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Do not soak the shoes fully in water, as this may affect the structural integrity of the Heel Pillow and the midsole foam. Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the longevity of the cushioning materials.
