FAQs
Do these shoes require any break-in time?
Most runners find the Flyknit upper comfortable immediately, but the materials typically soften further after the first few miles.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the React foam provides sufficient cushioning for long-distance efforts, provided the laceless fit matches your foot anatomy.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with mild soap is preferred to protect the structural integrity of the knit.
How should the shoe fit?
They should feel snug and secure, similar to a sock, but should not cause numbness or pressure points.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are removable, but replacing them with third-party orthotics may alter the intended fit and feel of the laceless system.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Ensure the shoe is fully pulled on using the heel tab to seat the TPU molding correctly around your heel.
Flyknit fabric appears stained
Gently dab the area with a mixture of water and mild soap; do not scrub vigorously to avoid fraying the knit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are laceless, the "setup" involves ensuring you select the correct size during initial purchase to guarantee a secure fit. For care, it is recommended to spot-clean the Flyknit upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid using a washing machine or harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the specialized knit fibers and the integrity of the Flywire cables. Ensure the shoes air-dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape of the TPU heel molding.
