FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
They are designed for general training and light running. While the cushioning is excellent, dedicated marathon runners may prefer a shoe with more specialized energy return technology.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the foam midsole integrity. Always clean by hand.
Are these waterproof?
The upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance. They will get wet if used in heavy rain.
Do these provide arch support?
They feature a neutral design that provides standard support. If you require specialized orthotics, the insoles are typically removable.
What is the primary material used?
The shoes feature a performance foam midsole and a lightweight, breathable mesh upper.
Can I wear these for gym classes?
Yes, the reliable grip and stable foam midsole make them excellent for varied gym activities like circuit training or classes.
Troubleshooting
Outer material looks dusty or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly dampened microfiber cloth to gently wipe the mesh upper.
Feeling instability during lateral movements
Ensure the laces are tightened securely to lock your midfoot in place and check that the shoe size matches your foot width.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, ensure you are wearing the correct size for your arch type. Because these are performance trainers, they are best paired with athletic-grade moisture-wicking socks to maximize the benefits of the breathable upper. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the outer material with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam midsole and compromise the cushioning properties over time.
