FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Supernova Glide trainers offer balanced cushioning suitable for various distances, including marathons. However, runner preference for cushioning and support can vary significantly for ultra-long distances. It's recommended to test them on long runs during training.
Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts or cross-training?
These trainers are specifically designed for road running. While they offer good support, their primary function is for linear motion on pavement. For gym workouts or cross-training involving lateral movements, specialized shoes are recommended for optimal performance and injury prevention.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes are designed to fit true to size with a standard fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, consider trying a half size up or consulting a professional fitter if possible.
What is the main advantage of the Dreamstrike+ midsole?
The Dreamstrike+ midsole aims to provide a harmonious blend of soft cushioning for impact absorption and stable support for an efficient stride, reducing distractions and promoting a smooth ride.
How durable is the transparent rubber outsole?
The transparent rubber outsole is engineered for dependable traction and reasonable durability for road running. Like all outsoles, its lifespan will depend on running frequency, surface type, and running style.
Is the mono-mesh upper waterproof?
The mono-mesh upper is designed for breathability and ventilation, not waterproofing. It will allow air to pass through, which is beneficial for keeping feet cool, but it will not prevent water from entering in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the lace fastening. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the size guide and consider half sizes if available. The standard fit is true to size, but individual foot shapes vary.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the transparent rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for wet conditions, extreme slickness can reduce grip. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Discomfort in the ankle area
Check the tightness of the laces around the ankle. Ensure the padded tongue is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the best fit for your foot anatomy.
Upper feels less breathable
Check the mono-mesh upper for any blockages like dirt or debris. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as moisture can affect breathability. The mesh is designed for airflow, so persistent issues might indicate a defect.
