Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our running shoes
Our running shoes feature professional-grade technology typically reserved for elite athletes—carbon plates, advanced cushioning systems, energy-return midsoles, and breathable mesh construction. We bring premium performance innovations to everyday runners at accessible prices.
Each shoe is engineered with specific technologies like ForMotion balance systems, latex foam insoles, and TPU outsoles to deliver superior comfort, durability, and performance across all distances.
Carbon plate technology uses lightweight carbon fiber or nylon carbon plates embedded in the midsole to increase propulsion and energy return with every stride. The rigid plate acts like a spring, helping you run faster with less effort while reducing leg fatigue.
Originally developed for elite marathon runners, carbon plate shoes are now available across our collection for runners of all levels—from beginner-friendly models to professional racing shoes.
- Up to 10km: Choose lightweight trainers with responsive cushioning like our beginner-friendly models or entry-level racers
- 10km to Half Marathon: Select shoes with balanced cushioning and carbon plate support for efficiency over moderate distances
- Marathon (40km+): Opt for maximum cushioning with energy-return technology and carbon plates designed for extended distances
- Multi-Purpose: If you run various distances, choose versatile trainers with good cushioning and breathable construction
All our shoes specify their optimal distance range in the product description to help you decide.
Absolutely! Our running shoes are designed for versatility. The advanced cushioning, breathable materials, and supportive construction make them perfect for:
- Running and jogging
- Walking and power walking
- Gym training and fitness classes
- Casual everyday wear
- Active lifestyle activities
The same technology that protects runners' joints during high-impact activity provides excellent comfort for all-day wear and lower-intensity activities.
Our shoes fit true to size. We recommend:
- Select your regular athletic shoe size
- If you're between sizes, size up for optimal comfort
- Allow 24-48 hours of wear for materials to adapt to your foot shape
- Some models offer both medium (B,M) and wide (C,D,W) width options
For the most accurate fit, measure your feet at the end of the day when they're slightly swollen. If you're unsure, our 45-day return policy allows you to exchange sizes risk-free.
"True to size" means our shoes match standard athletic footwear sizing. If you normally wear size US 10 in running shoes, order size US 10 with us. You don't need to size up or down.
The consistent sizing eliminates guesswork and ensures you get the right fit the first time. All our shoes are marked with their fit characteristics in the product specifications.
Shoe lifespan depends on usage and running style:
- Average runners: 500-800 kilometers
- High-mileage models: Up to 2000 kilometers (like our Endurance Pro series)
- Walking/casual use: 1-2 years of regular wear
Signs it's time to replace:
- Visible wear on outsole tread
- Decreased cushioning response
- Uneven wear patterns
- Increased foot or joint discomfort
RECOMMENDED METHOD:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush
- Create mild soap solution (water + gentle detergent)
- Use soft cloth or brush to clean upper and outsole
- Wipe with clean damp cloth to remove soap
- Remove insoles and air dry both separately
- Stuff shoes with paper to maintain shape while drying
- Dry away from direct heat or sunlight
DO NOT: Machine wash, tumble dry, use harsh chemicals or bleach, place near heaters, or submerge completely in water.
ForMotion is an advanced performance system that integrates three key elements:
- Balance: Stabilizes your foot through the gait cycle
- Massage: Therapeutic features stimulate circulation and reduce fatigue
- Cushioning: Impact protection and energy return
This technology optimizes biomechanical efficiency while providing therapeutic support, making it ideal for beginners building running-specific strength and experienced runners seeking recovery benefits.
BEGINNER SHOES:
- More cushioning for impact protection
- Stable support systems to prevent injury
- Forgiving construction for developing form
- Designed for up to 10km distances
- Focus on comfort and injury prevention
PROFESSIONAL SHOES:
- Lighter weight for speed
- Carbon plates for propulsion
- Responsive cushioning for energy return
- Built for 40km+ distances
- Optimized for efficient running mechanics
Many of our shoes bridge both categories, offering professional technology in beginner-friendly designs.
No! Our running shoes work excellently for both treadmill and outdoor running. The versatile outsole patterns provide:
- Treadmill: Sufficient grip without excessive traction
- Outdoor: Confident grip on pavement, concrete, and light trails
- Gym floors: Non-marking, stable platform
The cushioning systems absorb impact effectively regardless of surface, and the breathable uppers maintain comfort in both environments.
Our shoes require minimal break-in:
- Days 1-2: Materials begin adapting to your foot shape
- Days 3-7: Optimal comfort is achieved
- After 2 weeks: Fully personalized fit
The breathable mesh and ergonomic construction mean you can start running comfortably from day one. Unlike stiff traditional shoes, our performance materials flex naturally with your foot movement, eliminating the painful break-in period.
Yes! While our shoes feature breathable mesh for ventilation, they perform well in wet conditions:
- Outsoles maintain grip on wet surfaces
- Quick-drying materials prevent water retention
- Non-slip patterns ensure traction in rain
Note: These are not waterproof shoes. The breathable construction allows water to drain quickly rather than pooling inside. For heavy rain running, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking socks and allowing shoes to air dry completely after wet runs.
