FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The 247 Arc-1 Runner is primarily engineered for 5-10k runs and active lifestyle wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or durability required for marathon distances.
How should I determine my size?
It is recommended to take the next size up if you are between sizes. Refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Spot clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry to preserve the materials and construction.
What is the benefit of the TPU overlay?
The Initial TPU overlay provides targeted support to the midfoot area, enhancing stability and ensuring a secure fit without compromising the shoe's overall breathability.
Does the shoe come with laces?
Yes, the trainers come with laces as standard to ensure a secure and adjustable fit.
What is the purpose of the included dust bag?
The branded nylon dust bag is designed to protect your trainers from dust, scratches, and environmental elements when stored or transported, helping to maintain their condition. It also features an internal divider for added organization.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole features a minimal rubber design for a balance of traction and light weight. It is durable for its intended use in running and active lifestyle, but may show wear faster with extensive use on abrasive surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit or discomfort
Try wearing the trainers with thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider if you need to size up, especially if you are between sizes, as recommended.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole may compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure you are cleaning the shoes regularly to prevent dirt from impacting performance. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.
Slipping during activity
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The minimal rubber outsole is designed for general traction; for very slippery conditions, additional caution may be advised.
Foot odor
The anti-microbial insock helps reduce odor. Regularly air out the shoes after use. For persistent odor, consider using a shoe deodorizer or baking soda overnight.
