FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are specialized trainers meant for gym workouts, weightlifting, and agility. They lack the flexibility and specialized cushioning required for long-distance running.
Can I use these for heavy deadlifting?
Yes, the flat heel design provides the stability needed for powerlifting, though you should always ensure your form is correct.
How do I determine if the size is correct?
You should feel a snug, secure fit around the midfoot with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed for a wide range of adult athletes, though size availability may vary by region.
What is the best way to clean the material?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes or put them in the washing machine.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of discomfort or pinching in the forefoot
Adjust the lace tension to allow for natural foot splay during heavier lifts.
Slipping inside the shoe during lateral drills
Ensure the laces are tightened using the eyelets closer to the ankle to improve lockdown.
Accumulation of dust or debris in the outsole tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear the grooves, maintaining optimal traction on gym mats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the supportive fit is designed to be snug. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from excessive moisture; if they become damp after a workout, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized materials and the integrity of the Air unit.
