Is this shoe suitable for trail running?

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Feeling instability in the ankle
Ensure the laces are tied using the 'runner's loop' or heel lock method to secure the midfoot.
Midsole foam feels less responsive
Allow at least 24 hours between runs for the foam to rebound and recover its original shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight construction at only 253 g
- Versatile for both slow recovery runs and faster training sessions
- Secure traction on road surfaces
Cons
- High stack height may feel unstable for some runners
- Limited to road use; not suitable for technical trails
- Specific neutral-only support may not suit overpronators
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, rotate them with another pair of running shoes to allow the midsole foam time to decompress between runs. When sizing, ensure your foot has about a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe discomfort during swelling on long runs. For cleaning, avoid using a washing machine or dryer. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the upper. Let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning materials.
