FAQs
Is the Wave Prophecy suitable for running?
While it features performance technology, this model is marketed primarily as a lifestyle trainer based on the 2011 reissue; it is better suited for casual walking and daily wear.
How do I clean the white or light-colored sections?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush, taking care to avoid getting the internal wave structures excessively wet.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The fit is generally standard, but due to the structured nature of the upper, some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet.
What makes the Infinity Wave different from foam?
The Infinity Wave is a mechanical cushioning system made of durable plastic-based materials, which offers consistent, long-term stability rather than the springy softness of foam.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Debris caught in the Wave sole
Use a dull, non-metallic tool or compressed air to gently dislodge stones or debris from the sole cutouts.
Sole squeaking on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free from fine dust or grit, as the large surface area of the Infinity Wave can pick up debris.
Stiff initial fit
Wear the shoes with thinner performance socks initially to allow the structure to accommodate your foot shape during the break-in period.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature an exposed Infinity Wave structure, maintaining them is vital for longevity. Avoid using these shoes on rough, off-road terrain where debris could potentially lodge in the gaps of the sole. To clean, use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather and synthetic overlays. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp synthetic materials or damage adhesives. For sizing, ensure you verify your UK size, as the structure is quite rigid and does not stretch significantly over time.
