Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ARC-1 Runner is primarily designed for 5-10k runs and active lifestyle wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide sufficient long-term support and durability required for marathon distances.
How do I know if I should size up?
If your foot measurement falls between two standard sizes, the product information recommends choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and affect the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the purpose of the TPU overlay?
The Initial TPU overlay is integrated into the upper to provide targeted midfoot support and a more secure, locked-in fit without adding significant weight.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
General guidelines suggest replacing running shoes every 300-500 miles (or 480-800 kilometers). However, this can vary based on running surface, intensity, and individual biomechanics. Look for signs of wear like flattened cushioning or sole wear.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight engineered mesh for breathability, with an Initial TPU overlay for support.
Does the shoe come with extra laces?
The product information does not specify if extra laces are included. The shoes come with one set of laces as standard.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or slightly uncomfortable.
If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up as recommended. Ensure laces are adjusted properly for a comfortable fit, not too tight.
Reduced cushioning or stability over time.
The EVA midsole will naturally compress with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or when cushioning feels diminished.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
The minimal rubber outsole is designed for general traction. Be cautious on very wet or slippery surfaces, as performance may be reduced compared to shoes with more aggressive tread patterns.
Odor develops inside the shoe.
Utilize the anti-microbial insole feature. Remove insoles periodically to air them out, and ensure shoes are dried completely after use, especially if they become damp.
