FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the full-length Dreamstrike midsole provides sustained cushioning and comfort, making them suitable for marathon distances.

Can I wear these trainers for everyday casual use?

While designed for running, their comfort and style make them suitable for casual wear. However, prolonged casual wear may affect their running performance features over time.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The fit is true to size. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The padded tongue should feel snug but not constricting.

What is the main difference between this and other Supernova models?

The Supernova Glide features the specific Dreamstrike+ midsole for a combination of soft and stable cushioning, alongside a lightweight mono-mesh upper for breathability.

How long should I expect these shoes to last?

With proper care and depending on mileage and running surface, running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles. Regular inspection for wear on the outsole and midsole is recommended.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the shoes are not waterproof. They feature a lightweight, breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, not water resistance. The outsole offers traction on wet surfaces, but the shoe itself is not designed to keep feet dry in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you have selected the correct size; the fit is designed to be true to size.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The transparent rubber outsole provides dependable traction, but accumulated dirt can impact performance.

Discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure socks are worn appropriately. Check the padded tongue and laces for proper positioning. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.

Upper material feels less breathable than expected

Ensure the mesh is clear of dirt or debris that could obstruct airflow. The mono-mesh is designed for a breezy feel, so blockages can affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Compatibility:

  • Intended Use: Designed specifically for road running. Not recommended for trail running or heavy gym training.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
