FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally standard. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them less accommodating due to the fixed lacing system. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles can typically be removed, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed. Ensure any replacement insoles are of a similar thickness to maintain fit.
What is the primary purpose of the M-Strike® technology?
M-Strike® technology is designed to promote a more efficient gait by encouraging a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off, helping to reduce energy loss and improve running economy.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture. They are not suitable for heavy rain or wet environments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of the shoe, making them suitable for individuals following a vegan lifestyle.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
While the laces are fixed, ensure you selected the correct size. If slightly loose, consider wearing thicker socks. If too tight, they may not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The cushioning is designed to last for a significant period. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, it may be time to consider replacement, especially if you have a high mileage.
Mesh upper is dirty.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush. Ensure to dry thoroughly.
