FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The description states they are 'True to size — EU sizing'. It is advisable to consult a size chart to convert your usual UK or US size to the EU equivalent for the best fit.
Can I wear these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running, daily training, and streetwear. While they offer good stability, they may not provide the aggressive traction or protection needed for technical trail running.
How do I clean the synthetic and textile upper?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the upper. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely.
What is the purpose of the internal cage?
The internal cage is designed to provide added stability and a more secure midfoot lockdown, preventing excessive foot movement within the shoe during activity.
How often should I replace these trainers?
The lifespan of trainers varies depending on frequency of use, intensity of activity, and individual biomechanics. For running, a general guideline is to replace them every 300-500 miles. For casual wear, they will last much longer, but replace them if the cushioning feels significantly degraded or the structure is compromised.
What makes the Pebax plate special?
Pebax is a lightweight and responsive material that offers excellent energy return, contributing to a propulsive feel and enhancing performance during runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If still too tight, check if you have selected the correct EU size and consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Ensure the midsole is clean and free from debris. Over time, cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after significant mileage.
Discomfort during runs
Verify the lacing system is appropriate for your foot. Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width for your feet. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting longer distances.
