FAQs
What makes the Futurecraft 4D midsole unique?
The Futurecraft 4D midsole is 3D-printed using Digital Light Synthesis technology, allowing for precise control over cushioning density and support in different zones of the foot.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Primeknit upper offers a degree of flexibility and adaptability. However, individuals with significantly wide feet might find the standard fit restrictive. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from a seamless Primeknit material, designed for a comfortable, sock-like fit and breathable support.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a snug fit without being too tight. Your heel should not slip, and there should be adequate room in the toe box. Refer to the sizing chart for UK men's foot measurements.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary benefit of the Continental rubber outsole?
The Continental rubber outsole is known for its exceptional durability and grip, providing reliable traction across various surfaces and weather conditions.
How does this shoe compare to traditional EVA foam midsoles?
The Futurecraft 4D midsole offers more zoned cushioning and a more responsive, energy-returning feel compared to the uniform cushioning typically found in EVA foam midsoles.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during running
Check for any small debris caught in the outsole grooves. Ensure laces are tied properly and not causing friction.
Slightly tight fit
Wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists after initial wear. The Primeknit may stretch slightly over time.
Reduced cushioning effect
Ensure the shoes are clean, especially the midsole. Over time, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the Continental rubber offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can still be challenging. Clean the outsole regularly to maximize its effectiveness.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Primeknit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing to maintain material integrity.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the midsole and outsole. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth with a little soap can be used.
