FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the stable construction and cushioning make them comfortable for both walking and daily casual use.
Do I need to break these in?
While comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to wear them for shorter sessions before committing to a long-distance run.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are optimized for road and gym surfaces; consistent trail use may lead to premature wear of the outsole.
How do I determine if this size fits me correctly?
You should have approximately a half-inch to a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the internal support technology. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of insufficient arch support
Ensure the laces are snug across the midfoot and check that your foot is seated correctly in the heel cup.
Outer material showing signs of dirt
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away surface debris; do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads.
Foot discomfort during long runs
Ensure the shoe size allows for a thumb's width of space at the toe and replace the stock insole if you require custom orthotics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by properly lacing them to achieve a secure midfoot lockdown without restricting circulation. Compatibility is best maintained by using these shoes primarily for road running and gym workouts; avoid using them for heavy trail hiking, which may damage the foam midsole. For care, remove the insoles after particularly intense or wet workouts to allow the interior to dry completely. If the exterior becomes dirty, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine or tumble drying, as extreme heat can compromise the structural integrity of the wave plate and adhesives.
