What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The compression moulded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to comfortable performance and long-lasting durability, making your steps feel lighter and more supported.
Do these trainers offer good traction?
Yes, they feature a grippy zoned rubber outsole specifically designed to provide reliable traction and grip where it's most needed, helping to prevent slips on various surfaces.
Are these trainers easy to put on and take off?
Absolutely. The trainers include convenient heel and tongue pull tabs, which make putting them on and taking them off a simple and quick process.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?

Troubleshooting
Trainers feel uncomfortable or rub during wear.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly or too loosely. Verify you have the correct size. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks designed to reduce friction. The flatlock stitching is designed to minimize friction, so if discomfort persists, check for any manufacturing defects or sizing issues.
Lack of grip or slipping on certain surfaces.
Check the grippy zoned rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt and debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. While designed for traction, these trainers may not be optimal for extremely wet, icy, or specialized slippery surfaces.
Foot odor develops after use.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing and cleaning. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Ensure socks are clean and breathable to prevent moisture buildup.
Trainers feel less cushioned over time.
The compression moulded EVA midsole is designed for long-lasting durability, but cushioning can naturally compress over extended use. Ensure trainers are stored correctly and not exposed to extreme heat. If the cushioning significantly degrades, it may indicate it's time to consider replacement.
