FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the ARC-1 Runner?
The ARC-1 Runner is primarily engineered for 5-10k runs and active lifestyle wear, offering a balance of performance and comfort.
How should I choose my size if I'm between sizes?
If you find yourself between sizes, it is recommended to take the next size up for a more comfortable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for shorter to mid-distance runs (5-10k). For ultra-marathons, shoes with more specialized features for extreme distances might be more suitable.
How do I clean the ARC-1 Runner?
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the anti-microbial insock?
The anti-microbial insock helps to keep the inside of the shoe feeling fresh with every wear, reducing odors.
What comes included with the shoes?
The shoes come with a purpose-built 247 Branded Nylon Dust Bag, which features an internal divider for added protection.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
Yes, the ARC-1 Runner is also designed for active lifestyle wear, making them suitable for comfortable everyday use.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight
If you are between sizes, the recommendation is to opt for the next size up. If you have already purchased and the fit is too snug, consider if the initial wear-in period will resolve the tightness or if an exchange for a larger size is necessary.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The compression-moulded EVA midsole may lose some of its responsiveness after extensive use. To maximize performance, adhere to care instructions and consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage as per typical running shoe lifespan.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The minimal rubber outsole provides good traction under normal conditions. For very wet or slick surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris, which can impact grip.
