FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Galaxy 8 is optimized for daily wear, light jogging, and casual exercise. They provide excellent comfort for moderate distances.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand-clean your trainers using a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the cushioning and adhesive.
Are they waterproof?
No, the shoes feature a breathable textile upper, which is designed for airflow rather than water resistance.
Do these come in different sizes?
Yes, they are available in various UK sizes ranging from 4 to 8. Please check the specific variant listing for your size.
Is the material strictly polyester?
The product construction varies slightly by model; some versions utilize cotton materials in the design, while the standard build focuses on durable, breathable polyester.
Can I use these for trail running?
The synthetic outsole is specifically designed for road surfaces and pavement. It does not provide the aggressive tread pattern required for technical trail running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the bridge of the foot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets upward to redistribute tension across the foot.
Visible dirt or dust on the textile upper
Use a dry soft-bristle brush to gently remove surface dust, or a slightly damp sponge for deeper cleaning of the fabric.
Slipping during activity
Ensure laces are double-knotted or tightened securely, and verify the outsole is free of debris that might reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Galaxy 8 trainers maintain their structural integrity and comfort:
- Initial Fit: Use the lace closure system to adjust the snugness across the midfoot. Ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space at the toe.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains on the textile upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the midsole adhesive.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the synthetic materials from drying out or discolouring.
- Usage: These trainers are compatible with standard athletic wear and are optimized for road running and general fitness activities.
