Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock for a more secure fit.
Feeling of dampness after heavy sweat
Remove the insoles after your run and stuff the shoes with newspaper to help wick moisture and maintain the shape of the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm your size based on standard UK sizing. When putting on the shoes, ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot securely without causing pressure on the top of the foot. For care, avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Removing the sock liner after particularly wet runs can also help the shoe dry out faster and prevent odors.
