FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
These shoes are primarily designed for training activities that require stability and grip. While they offer some cushioning, they may not provide the optimal comfort and support needed for long-distance running.
How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?
If you typically find standard-width shoes constricting, or if you have wider feet, the wide fit is likely to be more comfortable. These shoes are designed to offer more room in the forefoot and midfoot.
Can I wear these shoes for casual everyday use?
While the shoes are comfortable, their design is optimized for athletic performance. For extended casual wear, you might find shoes specifically designed for walking or lifestyle use more suitable.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and superior grip, intended to withstand the demands of regular training sessions on various gym surfaces.
What is the purpose of the REPETITOR midsole?
The REPETITOR midsole is engineered to provide responsive cushioning and energy return, helping to support dynamic movements and improve performance during training.
How should I clean the textile upper?
Gently clean the textile upper with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes, as this can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tightened. The wide fit may require a different lacing technique for optimal comfort.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be impacting grip. Ensure the surface itself is not excessively wet or slippery.
Midsole feels stiff initially
The REPETITOR midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they become more flexible.
