FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The LIGHTSHIFT 2.0 is designed primarily for daily wear, gym activities, and walking rather than high-mileage marathon running.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while wearing standard athletic socks.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the suede panels and the integrity of the foam midsole.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Do the shoes run true to size?
The LIGHTSHIFT 2.0 generally fits true to size for standard adult foot widths, though personal preference for sock thickness may require a half-size adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or consider replacing with performance-grade locking laces for a more secure fit.
Stains on suede panels
Apply a gentle suede-specific cleaning foam and follow with a suede protector spray once dry.
Midsole feeling less cushioned over time
Ensure the shoe is not being exposed to extreme compression when stored and rotate with other footwear to allow foam recovery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance practices:
- Initial Setup: Loosen the laces completely before your first wear to ensure the tongue and midfoot lock fit your foot shape properly.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For suede sections, use a specialized suede eraser or brush; avoid soaking suede in water.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the fabric.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes get damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid using heaters or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
