FAQs
Are these shoes good for flat feet?
The Ultrarun 5 is a neutral trainer. If you require specific arch support, you may wish to replace the stock insole with custom orthotics.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road and gym use. They lack the aggressive lug depth and protective plates required for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace them?
For most runners, it is recommended to replace these shoes every 400 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your running style.
Are they waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow, which means they are not water-resistant or waterproof.
What is the primary difference in this series?
The Ultrarun 5 series focuses on the balance between weight and cushioning, specifically utilizing the upgraded Bounce 2.0 foam for a more dynamic stride.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Midsole foam feels less bouncy over time
This is normal wear for EVA-based foams. Ensure you rotate your running shoes to give the foam 24 hours to recover its shape after a long run.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ultrarun 5 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to size. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe rubbing.
- Break-in: Wear them for short walks or light jogs for the first few days to allow the upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains. Do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high temperatures can warp the midsole and damage the adhesive bond of the sole.
